Manna, which already operates in Balbriggan, north Co Dublin, has set its sights on link-up with proposed Priory Market in Tallaght Village
It is understood the drone delivery company founded by Bobby Healy has been in talks to run the aerial hub which would be located at the new Priory Market in Tallaght Village. Sources close to the project confirmed there had been discussions with Manna , and that it would operate the hub if it was approved. The application for the hub included Manna ’s operator certificate and IAA authorisation.
Located at a building owned by social enterprise group Partas just off the village’s Main Street, the market received planning permission last February and is expected to open in May.Is Trump’s ‘drill, baby, drill’ an empty promise?John Kearns, chief executive of Partas, said it would give the operators at the market another option for delivery to customers. “We’re making it available,” he said. “For each food vendor it’s really up to them if they want to use Deliveroo or Just Eat or Manna.
Founded in 2018 by entrepreneur Bobby Healy, Manna has developed aviation-grade drones that fly at 80km/h and deliver goods, including groceries, takeaways and medicines, within a 3km-radius in less than three minutes. A single aircraft can do 100 deliveries a day, with up to 20 aircraft capable of being remotely managed by one Manna employee.
