Its after more disruption at Dublin airport last night caused by drones, the sixth such incident this year.
Eamon Ryan is meeting with the DAA and the Irish Aviation Authority about it today.
But the Ryanair CEO says there's been too much talking and not enough action:
"We cannot for the life us understand why Eamon Ryan won't act on this issue, other than he doesn't like aviation, he doesn't like the fact we live on an island at the edge of Europe."
"If this was somebody blocking a bicycle lane in Ranelagh he'd be on it before lunch time."
"But if you want to disable our main airport, he'll sit there having meetings, talking to stakeholders and producing memos. It's not good enough."
"If he's not prepared to tackle the issue he should resign."
