The Latest News From the IAA

T3 NO DRONE ZONE in force - Dublin

30 Nov 2025

A temporary UAS Geographical Zone (designated as T3) has been established for National Security reasons, at the request of the Department of Justice, Home Affairs and Migration.

T3 is in effect from the Sunday 30th of November 2025 at 1200 until Wednesday 3rd of December 2025 at 0600.

UAS (Drones) are prohibited to operate within T3 during this period, unless a specific T3 access permission has been granted by An Garda Síochána. Only operators in the specific category may request a permission.

Access permissions for T3 may be requested from An Garda Síochána by emailing the IAA at drones@iaa.ie.

The dimension of T3 are described in IAA Aeronautical Notice U.04, however the volume of T3 is coincident with the dimensions of the Dublin control zone.

T3 overlaps several existing UAS Geographical Zones which also remain in affect. Additional permission may be required depending on location. Please check https://www.iaa.ie/drones/uas-geographic-zones for more information.

Note. It is a criminal offence to operate a UAS within T3 without a specific T3 permission from An Garda Siochana.
