The Irish Aviation Authority is investigating the use of drone footage of Cathal Brugha barracks in a promotional video for Ivana Bacik’s by-election campaign.

The use of drones around military bases is strictly prohibited and the video, seen by the Irish Examiner, clearly includes footage and references to the military base in Rathmines in the Dublin Bay South constituency.
