Abstract

In line with the rapid adoption of UAS technology across the global arena, The Irish government is now looking to actively develop and embed UAS technology in various aspects of our economy and society. The development of UAS in Ireland is seen as a significant opportunity to foster innovation across various industries, including the medical field for transporting samples and prescriptions to remote areas, enhancing public safety through search and rescue operations, and supporting emergency response. To not only achieve this but to also position itself as a leader of innovation in the UAS sector. The Department of Transport in Ireland is actively seeking public input to shape a policy framework that will guide the responsible and sustainable growth of the UAS sector, primarily focusing on safety, security, environmental concerns, and societal benefits. This report inputs into shaping this framework.
