The regulation of the safe use and operation of remotely piloted aviation systems (RPAS) in Irish airspace is a matter for the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA).

I have forwarded the Deputy's questions to the IAA for direct response. If the Deputy does not receive a response within 10 days, he should contact my office directly.
