Emer Currie stated that Dublin 15 serves as a test ground for drone operations, emphasizing the lack of an integrated regulatory framework. Paul Rutherford noted that existing noise legislation does not cover drones, while the Irish Aviation Authority only ensures safety without specific noise regulations.
