Dublin Airport is expecting nearly 500,000 passengers to pass through over the Easter bank holiday weekend but new anti-drone technology has still not been rolled out.

In the middle of March, airport operator the DAA said that it had placed an order for the new anti-drone technology and that it would be in use within weeks.
