Foreign Minister Simon Coveney said that it is not expected that Defence Force staff would be deployed to Dublin Airport despite being on call for a period of six weeks.

He said such a situation whereby the army was being used to assist in the running of the airport was a “last resort” and not a situation he was happy with.
