Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport
Unmanned Aircraft Systems: Discussion
2:00 am
Cathal Crowe (Clare, Fianna Fail)
Woodcock Hill radar station is a national asset in my constituency. I should declare that my farm abuts the station. What is the setback distance from it that applies in respect of drones? What should be the setback distance from wind turbine infrastructure, given that turbines are fixed in a locality and are arguably more intrusive? What is the setback distance that would be safe and operable for both drones and turbine infrastructure?
