I accept that. There is a piece of work that must be done. I imagine even the committee has a piece to do on this, what best practice is across the world and a solution to the problem. Obviously, if we were dealing with good manners, we would never need legislation for most things. It is about getting the idea out that the area is not just the airport but 5 km around it every which way. It is about getting that into people's minds and ensuring they are all aware of that.
The registration of drones is a problem and I assume something we need to look at. That might be rules and regulations, as I said.
Maybe there is some short-term technological fix in being able to say a particular drone has a certain ID that shows it belongs to Ruairí Ó Murchú or to Eamon Ryan, for example, or whoever else.
