A good bit has been said about online trading, which is affecting high street shops. The authorised economic operators were mentioned but does the witness see a role for those with online trading? In New York, for example, lunches are being delivered by drones and I can envisage a problem with drones being used to facilitate the delivery of goods from across the Border to be dropped in a front garden. If people are able to deliver lunch in New York by drone, I am sure they can deliver little parcels around Ireland as well.
