Defence expert, Mullingar's Declan Power believes it's troubling ahead of Ireland's EU Presidency next year.
Five drones were detected near Volodymr Zelenskyy’s flight path in Dublin Bay ahead of his visit here this week.

Defence Analyst, Mullingar's Declan Power, says the Government will need to show it can respond to future potential threats before it hosts the EU Presidency:
