Company wants to broaden its delivery area into southwest Dublin
Safety and privacy concerns have been expressed by residents and public representatives about a Dublin food delivery drone operation planning to deliver to homes further afield following an extended trial.
Another resident described the drone deliveries as “loud invasive technologies” that affected her privacy by hovering over her back garden as the devices prepared for neighbourhood drops.and he said there were “flight paths over certain estates in Dublin 15 where in an afternoon you could have 30 or 40 drones flying over and back”.“I do accept this is a growing industry.
Over the course of the trial three incidents involving drone faults were reported to the authorities. In response, the company said the three incidents were minor and had led to changes to ensure no recurrence.He also said “we have held meetings with the public and local representatives” in Dublin 15 and said it offered free deliveries to special groups including frontline staff and was running trials to deliver emergency response defibrillators.
