An important two-day gathering of European Union development ministers commenced in Dublin Castle as part of Ireland's presidency of the Council of the European Union. The high-level talks brought international delegates to the capital to address global cooperation, while local authorities implemented a robust security and policing strategy to ensure the smooth running of the programme.
To facilitate the diplomatic engagements, several central Dublin thoroughfares—including Castle Street, Ship Street Little, and Ship Street Great—remained closed to vehicular and pedestrian traffic through to the end of December. Motorists and commuters also encountered temporary Garda escort rolling road closures across the south city centre and near the Radisson Blu Royal Hotel, though authorities worked alongside transport providers to minimise wider disruption.
In addition to ground-level measures, the Irish Aviation Authority established Temporary Restricted Airspace and UAS Geographical Zones, prohibiting drone usage near event venues without prior authorisation. An Garda Síochána deployed detection systems to monitor unauthorised flights, with live travel updates available directly through official channels and safety guidelines published via the IAA website.
