Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Irish Air Navigation Service: Chairperson Designate

Mr. Bryan Bourke:

Drones have featured in my discussions since the outset. I do not want to sound like we are doing nothing about the issue but it is more the responsibility of the DAA and now they have the machinery. The CEO updated me on disruptions in the business by email or, if it were more important, he would call me. I would have seen emails about drones causing problems, when I started. Drones are principally a DAA matter. It has the machines now and, as I understand it, the problem is an awful lot better. I have not heard drone-speak in a while.

On the military question, I was to attend here before the summer but I did not get around to it and I am only here today. I am not as up to date on the military piece. I understand that often, when there is unauthorised military activity we will hear it first from the UK military. I do not have that information but I can come back to the Deputy if he likes.
