The Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) has said a 'no fly zone' may have to be imposed over Ireland tomorrow because of an ash cloud drifting down from Iceland.

The IAA informed Irish-based airlines that it is concerned that Irish Airports may be impacted by the ash cloud.

Current information from the Volcanic Ash Advice Centre (VAAC) suggests that a 'no fly zone' may affect Dublin, Shannon and some regional airports.
