Michael Murphy: Is the ID I can pick up, if it is registered properly, linked to a specific operator or can a drone have a number of operators or can it have an operator that is authorised by the registered operator?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport: Unmanned Aircraft Systems: Discussion (9 Jul 2025)
Michael Murphy: I always thought, for the safe operation of a drone, the operator always had to have line of sight. What concerns me is these drones travelling around, for example, Dublin 15 or Fingal, and the operator does not have that physical line of sight. That is a real concern for me. The IAA is responsible for safety. Have the witnesses any concerns in that regard?

Michael Murphy: The IAA has no issue with where that physical line of sight is not possible?

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

He might follow that up with the committee.
