People are being warned not to fly drones over or close to national monuments without permission from the OPW.

This comes in the wake of a drone hitting the Rock of Cashel at the weekend where staff narrowly avoided injury.

Supervisor of Guides at the Rock of Cashel, Elaine Moriarty, said that drones are becoming a nuisance at the tourist attraction.

She told Tipp FM news how serious the situation has gotten.

“People might be very surprised to hear that on a daily basis, this could happen three, four, five times in a day.

“The guides could be out doing guided tours and a drone would just appear in the cathedral, really low, down beside a group of people – quite dangerous in fact.

“Like I said, it’s an ongoing thing, but our protocol here is we have to call the Gardaí because you’re not allowed actually to fly a drone over a national monument.”

She added that as well as damage to the monuments, people could be injured and it also disturbs the wildlife.

Anyone seeking permission to capture footage using a drone over national monuments can email [email protected].
