OUR SKIES, OUR SAY: Restrict Drones in Dublin 15 Now
The Issue
Drones in our skies, concerns on the ground. Residents in Dublin West are raising serious concerns about the new drone delivery service – from constant noise to invasion of privacy. It's not about banning...it's about regulation.
Please sign Cllr John Walsh's local petition calling on the Government to regulate commercial drone delivery services that are impacting communities in Dublin 15 and deliver the following goals:
1. Require drone flights to follow established routes only, such as roads or public transport routes, in Dublin 15 - and limit their frequency per day to achieve this.
2. Ensure independent, rigorous monitoring of the impact of noise from the drone delivery service.
3. Establish a national planning framework to regulate drones & drone delivery bases and implement fully the rigorous standards for drone flights set out by the EU Aviation Safety Agency.
4. Introduce mandatory registration of all drones and mandatory training for operators.
5. Stop any further expansion of the drone delivery services until the above objectives are met.
