Professor Tim McCarthy:

I will quickly jump in with a neutral view on that public-private-type endeavour in terms of drone operations. That balance, of course, has to be there where, on the one hand, there are commercially led drone activities but, equally, we can see there are a lot of uses. At Maynooth, we are involved with Dublin City Council and Dublin Fire Brigade. We have an exercise coming in a few weeks that will look at that. We are also working with the Irish Coast Guard and are in discussions with Dublin Port as well. We were with the Coast Guard in Rossaveel last November to look at the role of drones in search and rescue. That balance has to be struck. I will not comment on the job potential.
