Picture the scene: a quiet summer evening, you’re sitting in your garden soaking up the sun, when a drone flies overhead carrying your neighbour’s groceries.
That scenario could soon become reality in Dundalk, as Louth County Council has heard that drone delivery company Manna Aero, already operating in Dublin and Cork, is planning to launch services in the town.
At the latest council meeting, Councillor Sionainn McCann said concerns have already been raised by community groups in Dublin about noise and disruption linked to drone activity, and warned that similar issues could arise locally.
The proposed rollout in Dundalk is now expected to spark further discussion around regulation, privacy, and how the technology will sit within residential areas.
We found out more about all of this on The Agenda this morning.
