Drones posed no threat because Zelensky plane had already landed, says Taoiseach

"There was no threat posed by drones to President Volodomyr Zelensky on his Irish visit last week because they appeared after he had landed, the Taoiseach has told the Dáil. "His aircraft had landed quite some time before," Micheál Martin said, adding that he had been briefed on the incident and had received a report. But it was not appropriate to enter details in the public domain, he said."

Drones were observed after President Volodomyr Zelensky's aircraft had already landed during his Irish visit last week, so no threat to him occurred. The aircraft had landed some time before the drone activity. A briefing had been conducted and a report was received regarding the occurrence. Details of the briefing and report were withheld from the public domain as inappropriate for release. The timing of the drone sightings removed an immediate security risk to the presidential movements. Procedural review and reporting were indicated while operational specifics were not publicly disclosed.
