A spokesperson for the operator of Dublin Airport, daa, has said that flights at Dublin Airport were suspended for a time this evening due to drone activity in the area.
Flights were suspended at 8.22pm but the all clear was given just before 9pm and flights then resumed. There were no flight diversions.
An Garda Síochána was immediately advised, said daa.
Ryanair has called on the Minister for Transport Eamon Ryan to "do something" to stop drone closures at the airport.
In a statement released this evening, Ryanair said: "Dublin Airport has closed again today for the fifth time in four weeks due to drone disruptions, causing multiple delays and disrupting/delaying hundreds of passengers."
Ryanair is calling on Mr Ryan to "do something - anything - to protect Ireland's main airport from these drone disruptions".
The airline said other EU airports have "effective drone-prevention measures in place" and questioned why such measures can not be brought in here.
