Roderic O'Gorman (Dublin West, Green Party)

I thank the Chair for holding this meeting specifically on commercial drones. I wrote to him a few weeks ago about this and he requested and facilitated it very quickly. I thank him for that.

I will address the IAA representatives. An article on The Journal yesterday stated that officials in the Department of Transport have been pitching Ireland as a global leader for commercial drones. Have officials from that Department, or anyone else, ever asked the IAA to contribute to that effort of pitching Ireland as a leader in this area?
