Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport

Unmanned Aircraft Systems: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Bobby Healy:

On why we chose Dublin 15, to be clear this is our sixth operation in Ireland. We started in Moneygall. We were then in Oranmore, and then Balbriggan, and we are currently in Dublin 15. Dublin 15 is a great example of a typical European high-density suburb with huge traffic problems and thriving businesses but pockets of retail areas in particular that suffered post-Covid. It was a great example, we thought, to have a good production run, not a trial. We do not consider it a trial. If we stopped it, we would simply be out of business. We would look at the 35,000 people we deliver to in Dublin 15 and we would be disappointing them if we walked away. I still get letters every week from people in Balbriggan-----
