Defence Minister Helen McEntee said the number of flights being searched for potential bomb threats is “extremely concerning” during the week Ireland hosts its biggest-ever meeting of heads of state. She referenced confirmed targets on Thursday, including routes from Dublin, Copenhagen, Helsinki, Madrid, Milan and Warsaw. An Aer Lingus Airbus A320 departing Dublin for Rome was diverted to the Evreux air base in northern France and landed safely; Aer Lingus said French prosecutors want to speak to the pilot about landing instructions. McEntee noted next week’s European Political Community summit in Dublin, with 55 heads of state, and said Ireland’s security and coordination with An Garda Síochána have been working well.
