Hi folks. With drone laws being tougher. Where is it possible to drone in Ireland north and south without breaking any laws if post the footage to youtube?
I have checked the flyryte map and was wondering
Would beaches along co clare and Donegal be ok or on lough corrib,
Or the burren.
Was wondering if ok at Dunguaire castle? Is it a heritage castle on a list. Where is the list please.
I fly reponsibly within the rules with a registered drone and only want to do it for my youtube channel and not professionally.
The Burren is classified as a heritage area, so thats a no fly zone. Dunguarie Castle doesn't seem to be on the OPW list of heritage sites, but it looks like a heavily touristed area and a place of business so i'd definitely ask them ahead of time for permission on that one.
Here is the list: List of heritage sites (Republic of Ireland) - Wikipedia
Thanks for that.
So are beaches next to towns like kilkee ok. Is it ok to fly near loop head?
Where would you recommend to fly including NIreland?
Thankyou for taking the time to reply its been most helpful.Basically if it's not a no-fly zone. Any public area that is more than 30 metres away from a building, person, or vehicle is okay to fly in. If it looks like you might need permission try to ask. If you are bothering people stop and move on.
I don't know much about NI. ill assume is covered by UK regulations which are more strict as far as I know.

Not as strict as most places. Low Population and mostly rural country gives a lot of place. But the biggest thing is to ask permission, people are usually okay with it if you are polite. But if told no, drop it and move on.
There is also a ban on flying drones over heritage sites, so check places before to make sure they aren't on the list. Usually that means the most popular touristy sites, the ban was because people were flying too dangerously around people and getting way too close to the historical places and risked damage.
Where about are you planning on visiting? might be able to give you more specific locations. We have so much breathtaking scenery for such small country.
