Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport

Unmanned Aircraft Systems: Discussion

2:00 am

Professor Tim McCarthy:

In short, it is a multilayered cake but I will cut to the chase here and point to a societal acceptance task group in Canada, for example. In its terms of reference, it went out and asked what it would look at. It was enforcement of applicable regulations, concerns about safety, trust in drone operators, threats to privacy, understanding the drone industry, drones at source and so on. I am saying we have to be more proactive here in engaging with neighbourhood groups.
