Take action to stop residential drone delivery routes

The goal is clear — six ways to help

You do not need to be an aviation expert to object to repeated food-delivery drones over homes.

If the flights affect your home, garden, school, park, pets, work, sleep or peace of mind, that impact matters. The goal is clear: stop routine food-delivery drone flights over residential communities.

1

Sign the petition

Support the call to stop routine food-delivery drone flights over residential areas. The petition is a national ask, for anyone in Ireland — whether or not Manna is currently flying over you. Share it with your neighbours, family and local groups.

2

Report the impact

Keep a record of flights, noise, hovering, route patterns and how they affect daily life. Every report matters — repeated drone flights over homes should not be treated as normal simply because they are brief, intermittent or commercially convenient.

Email community@manna.aero, request exclusion of your home from routes, and ask them to log it as an individual complaint. Then send a separate copy to the campaign so it counts toward the record.

Request exclusion

Residents should not have to ask individually for their homes to be avoided. Residential exclusion should be the default. Until that happens, you can request that your home and immediate area are excluded from drone delivery routes.

Write to your representatives

Ask TDs, councillors and local authorities to support a stop to residential drone delivery routes. Personal letters are one of the most effective tools available. We have a template that cites the State’s own commitments — you just personalise the bracketed sections.

Object to launch sites that enable drone routes over homes

Where launch sites enable routine flights over homes, object through the planning process. A launch site is not just a building — it enables repeated flight paths over surrounding communities. Fingal County Council has refused Manna three times on noise grounds. Objections work.

Stop routine food-delivery drone flights over residential communities. The people underneath the routes carry the impact whether or not they use the service.
