The ban will not affect UK and mainland Europe service or trans-Atlantic flights, reports RTE. "Some of the denser volcanic ash is over the Donegal area and we are concerned about the north-easterly winds moving this down over the rest of the country," says the CEO of the Irish Aviation Association.
