New Businesses opening in Dublin 15

Sorry to see them go, my daughter's would use it fairly regularly and preferred the idea of food being dropped in the back garden than some random guy knocking on the door.

In other news, Hollister have reopened in the shopping centre after a refit

The company lost 50 million Euros in the last financial year. It wasn't financially viable anyway.

I'm glad its going, there is no good reason to be airdropping food and coffee to people at the expense of noise and intrusiveness overhead.

The world is already busy enough and we are already fat enough as a nation.

Where you getting the 50 million figure?

The planning rubbish and locals complaining about noise and other nonsense again thwarts progress in Ireland.

Our obesity epidemic won't change a bit. Fat people will still order unhealthy food.

A bad sign of the way society is gone when people prefer a noisy drone flying around dropping packages in their back gardens instead of a few seconds of human interaction with a delivery guy at the front door! 🤣🫣

Glad to see them gone too.

No, I'm not. I take it you're not a parent of infants being woken up by noisy drones, or a resident of an estate being driven demented by coffees or food getting delivered that up until a couple of years ago the same people managed to make it themselves, get them delivered by humans or go collect it!?

Surely if you're that worried, you wouldn't get deliveries to your house.

Which is why deliveries into the garden by drone is great.

Other deliveries are just left in the porch

Infants sleep through everything. If a drone flying overhead for seconds wakes the child up, then there is some other issue going on. Unless cats driving by, people mowing lawns and people talking outside wake them up!

And yes, I live in Dublin 15 and have drones flying over the house everyday.

They're not any bit annoying at all

Delivering shite by drone isn't progress. New ways of using technology isn't always progress.

Some things just need to be given short shrift and the "but progress" dumb argument a slap in the face especially when it negatively affects people for the sake of profit and a minority using that product.

I thought they had ceased operating flights yesterday? I’ve seen them flying about all day today, one just dropped into a neighbouring garden.

They're working in reduced hours until the end of next week and then they'll finish up.

Was funny seeing someone claim on Twitter the drones ruined a dinner they had last night flying overhead before it was pointed out they finished at 2pm yesterday.

Calls the validity of some of the complaints about them into question.

There's barely a noise from them. Road noise is louder. The neighbours cutting the grass is louder and lasts longer.

I too live in a delivery area and they fly over every day. My neighbours get deliveries too.

They were no hassle whatsoever and I think it's a shame that so many people will be out of a job. It was a good service
