Who owns the sky? Drone technology and landowner rights

Last week, the Irish Aviation Authority published the first draft of its proposed Small Unmanned Aircraft (Drones) and Rocket Order. The legislation, if adopted, will apply to drones being used in the State and seeks to replace legislation from 2000 which currently governs the technology. The introduction of such legislation would undoubtedly represent a step in the right direction, clarifying the need for training in certain circumstances and highlighting the need for safety.
