No drones are to fly over the airspace around Portrush during the 148th Open Championship golfing event.
That’s the message from the PSNI.
The PSNI is reminding the public that an air exclusion zone will be in place from 4am to 10pm every day from July 13 to July 22 inclusive.
They say these restrictions are necessary to ensure public safety throughout the event.
“We have been making contact with clubs, associations and societies that we are aware of, who would regularly utilise airspace, to make them aware of these restrictions,” said a police spokesperson.
Police say it is essential to observe this law, otherwise the actions could result in a criminal record.
“It’s worth noting if you are detected breaching this order and end up with a criminal record, your travel and career prospects will be negatively affected,” added the spokesperson.
The final touches are being put to Portrush in a £17m spruce up. Over 200,000 spectators are expected along with a television audience of 600 million.
The regeneration programme was funded by the Department for Communities.
