    I have been in communition with various sections of Fingal County Council for over year ( as the advertise themslevs as "Drone Tolerant" ) , requesting a designated corner of any of their parks to allow drone flying,and still I am not nearer to getting a response.

    I could obvioulsy just fly and plead ignorance but I dont, I am certified and registered as is my drone and also full insured.. this is for recreational purposes only...also a member of the UAAI - so I take a very responsible approach and I know the rules.. but still can find NO where I can legally fly.!

    The IAA advise fo finding a land owner and getting their permission - which is like catching a unicorn by sprinkling salt on it's tail..!!


    During the recent Dublin Airport Drone incidents , I emailed the following to EVERY member of Fingal County Council and received Zero replies :

    Hi 


    Just my 2 P's worth............


    What is happening with drones @ the Airport , is obviously so WRONG but

    also consider there is nowhere for these idiots to learn from

    responsible, licensed and insured, non- commercial, recreational drone

    flyers like myself because we have literally nowhere that we are

    allowed fly.


    No parks, no beaches, no countryside..

    nowhere..


    There countless lists of where we cannot fly and NONE of

    where we can -


    We DO NOT need more restrictions, there are enough of

    them we need places where we can meet and educate.
