Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport: Unmanned Aircraft Systems: Discussion (9 Jul 2025)

Roderic O'Gorman: Noise is one of the biggest complaints my office has received on drones. We met earlier this year. The witnesses spoke about the new blades that were to be installed. Am I correct that no drones that are operational have had new blades installed and the approval for that is with the IAA? When did Manna submit that application for approval?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport: Unmanned Aircraft Systems: Discussion (9 Jul 2025)

Roderic O'Gorman: We have spoken about the noise issue before. Both of those points have been proposed as big game-changers of the noise. However, both seem to be quite a distance away of being delivered or at least there is uncertainty on both of those points.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport: Unmanned Aircraft Systems: Discussion (9 Jul 2025)

Roderic O'Gorman: I live close to the Junction 6 base. How does the process unfold if I wanted to not have Manna Air Delivery drones fly over my house? How far as the householder can I request or insist that it flies around my house?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport: Unmanned Aircraft Systems: Discussion (9 Jul 2025)

Roderic O'Gorman: I will take a step back. What I would like to know is where is the conversation being had about how much of the movement of goods that currently takes place on our roads is appropriate to move into our skies. When I visited the base, Mr. Healy showed me the map of all the journeys his company had done. If Manna had a competitor that wanted to compete with it in this field, for example, if...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Third Level Fees (8 Jul 2025)

Roderic O'Gorman: The Minister has spoken in great detail about the various supports that exist for students, but the issue people want clarity on and need to know about is the question of how much the student contribution will be in September. The reason they are asking that question is because of his comments on "This Week". He opened this Pandora's box, and he has the capacity to close it if he so wishes....

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Third Level Fees (8 Jul 2025)

Roderic O'Gorman: The Minister is right. I was in government when the cost-of-living measures in the area of the student contribution were agreed. That is why, whereas there is a lot on the programme for Government I am critical of, I welcomed the commitment in there to continue to reduce the student contribution fee over the lifetime of the Government. I took from that the clear meaning that every student...

Student Fees: Motion [Private Members] (8 Jul 2025)

Roderic O'Gorman: We are now on day nine of this fiasco. Time and again last week and even this afternoon in the Dáil, the mantra “the normal budgetary process” has been trotted out by the Taoiseach, Tánaiste, and the Ministers for Finance, public expenditure and further and higher education. Yes, there is a normal budgetary process but we are far outside that process on the single...
