Jack Chambers (Dublin West, Fianna Fail)

I thank the Deputy. As she knows, this issue is regulated by the Irish Aviation Authority in the context of the EU legislative framework that exists for drones. I know the Minister for Transport, Deputy Darragh O'Brien, is working on finalising the draft policy framework and expects it to be published this summer. There was previous consultation on the framework and extensive has been work carried out in the aviation division of the Department of Transport. That is the latest position I have been given relating to the publication of policy.
