Drones ‘mitigated’ during recent security events, Irish police say
Police say new counter-drone systems have been effective at recent events as they prepare a layered security plan for the visit.
- Irish police are enhancing security ahead of President Donald Trump arriving in Ireland on Saturday, establishing a comprehensive protection plan to monitor and mitigate unauthorized drone flights.
- Security concerns regarding drone technology intensified following an attempted attack in August at Leipzig/Halle Airport in Germany, coinciding with Ireland's ongoing presidency of the Council of the European Union.
- Deputy Commissioner Paul Cleary said the Garda have "invested heavily in the latest counter drone equipment and training," with a multi-layered security plan involving the Defence Forces and the Secret Service.
- While Gardaí are investigating a drone sighting near Dublin reported by an aircraft, Cleary noted that recent security systems have performed "very effectively" and drones remain a "potential threat."
- Commissioner Justin Kelly conducted "an extensive threat and risk assessment for the whole visit," while authorities maintain temporary no-fly zones in areas including Clare to protect the security event.
