All air traffic in the Republic of Ireland is stopped, except in Dublin, due to a radar issue.
Due to a Flight Data Processing System (FDPS) failure in Shannon (EISN/SNN), there is a zero-rate regulation. The restriction applies until 23:00 UTC (initially 22:00 UTC).
Dublin is the only airport in the Irish Republic that does not use Shannon’s Air Traffic Control and thus it remains open to the traffic.
From Eurocontrol:
Restriction is applied until 23h00 UTC

There is a significant systems failure with a radar in the west of Ireland resulting in a “zero flow rate” in Irish aerospace at present. @DublinAirport is exempt due to proximity to UK air traffic control. @CorkAirport apologizes for the obvious inconvenience this is causing. pic.twitter.com/hZp8pwz5Wx
