 "summary": "Flights at Cork Airport temporarily stopped on 20 April 2017 after a reported drone sighting. The Irish Examiner places the precautionary suspension shortly after 09:45 and reports that services had resumed by the time of its article. It does not provide an exact reopening time. Clare FM’s next-day account adds a separate policy response: an Ireland South MEP called for stricter regulation around airports. Its references to concerns for Shannon are a regional reaction to Cork, not evidence that the same incident happened at Shannon.",
