We don't have a great record of that in this country either.
A help would undoubtedly be needed from the EU if action was to be taken.
Morning, Clare.
Yes, so as you know, Ireland assumes the presidency of the EU on the 1st of July.
There is a huge concern about the potential disruption to events by drone incursions.
And we've seen these drone incursions in various EU countries, including in Denmark during its hosting of the presidency when they shut down the airport.
And we've obviously saw a similar incident in Dublin Bay last December.
when Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky was visiting Ireland and drones were spotted in Dublin Bay by an Irish Naval Service crew.
So all of that is really focused minds and is the reason why the Defence Forces are devising this anti-drone doctrine, which will obviously be for the presidency as well, but would also form a key part of Irish military operations at home and abroad going forward, especially in peacekeeping missions.
That's right, yeah.
So that's the, I suppose, technical terms, if you like.
So a soft kill solution is
jamming drones.
So there's all sorts of technology you can get, which will jam the radio signal, which controls the drone and basically disable it or force it to land.
Those systems are being installed at Casement Airdrome.
That's where all the EU leaders are going to fly into for the meetings here during the presidency.
That's the ideal solution.
It's the safest solution.
It preserves the evidence.
You're not firing
