Green Party leader calls for clarity on planning, safety and privacy, warning of possibility of serious crashes
Calling for clarity on planning, safety and privacy in the use of the technology, he expressed concern about the noise level of the “buzz” of the drones. “There are now flight paths over certain estates in Dublin 15 where in an afternoon you could have 30 or 40 drones flying over and back.”
“The drone flies over and the food comes down in a brown paper bag on a string. It is literally manna from heaven. Any time people are in Dublin 15, they hear the buzz and see the drone going over and know that a punter in Clonsilla is getting their burrito.” Expressing safety concerns, he asked what happened if a second or a third company started operating. “If they are not regulated or co-ordinated, a crash is a real possibility. These are hefty machines.”
