The exclusion zone around the G8 summit in County Fermanagh has been extended and boats are prohibited from entering a six-mile stretch of lower Lough Erne.

Ribs, speedboats and a tug boat repainted with blue and yellow police livery are being used to secure the approaches to the venue by water.

Eight world leaders are due to attend the summit on Monday and Tuesday.

Police have warned of potential delays around the airports and in Enniskillen.

The lough restrictions, which came into force at lunchtime on Sunday, will remain in place until Tuesday night.

Over a 24-hour period up to 8,000 police officers will be on the ground.

The PSNI, backed up by 3,600 officers drafted in from England and Wales, has mounted a massive air, land and sea security operation costing in excess of £50 million.

Three recently purchased drones will also be deployed to keep and eye from the sky when the world wealthiest leaders gather.

Judges in the north and Republic of Ireland have been put on standby to preside over special all-day court sittings and holding cells have been set aside at police stations in Belfast and Omagh, Co Tyrone.

Extra Public Prosecution Service (PPS) lawyers and support staff will also be on duty.

Mr Finlay said officers were ready for all the eventualities.

"These unmanned aerial units are used as resilience as part of the air frame unit," he added.

"One thing for commanders is visibility and ability to move resources around. The eye in the sky is important."

But just imagine if a group of those security people turned rogue, and had all those VIP's gathered together under one roof.

Just fantasising.
