Emer Currie (Dublin West, Fine Gael)

I really want to focus on the gaps and disconnects in current regulations that are affecting communities. We have established that there is no authority responsible for monitoring drone-generated environmental noise. Has there been any independent verification of the Trinity College noise report on Manna's drones which claims that drone flyovers in Dublin 15 stick out by 5 dB? It is reported that they are clearly audible but brief and are as loud as a person talking or a dishwasher operating, and that there is a momentary rise of 7 dB at the delivery stage, which is roughly the level of a distant household vacuum cleaner or washing machine.
