Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport

Unmanned Aircraft Systems: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Bobby Healy:

We have had significant engagement with all the local communities we have flown in. In Dublin 15 alone, I have spoken at Fingal Chamber. We had multiple members of this committee over to our base recently. We had engagement in the local tennis club. I have personally visited four of the local schools. In total, we visited, I think, ten of the local schools. To be clear, we do not fly over schools during school hours, nor do we fly over hospitals. We have had significant engagement. We did multiple flyer drops to every single eircode in the community before we began the service as well. We also have a lot of information on our website that people can download and read. We have had significant community engagement, and that is ongoing and increasing. I personally am involved. When we get a complaint email or a question from one of the constituents or residents, I would usually be involved in that answer.
