Manna pauses drone delivery in Ireland over lack of clear policy

▤ Summary

Manna is pausing drone delivery operations in Ireland because it says the country still lacks a clear national framework for commercial drone delivery. The company will shift investment and growth efforts toward markets like the US, UK and UAE, where authorisation paths are clearer and scale is more practical. Ireland will remain Manna’s R&D and engineering base, but local hub expansion and future hiring tied to Irish growth are on hold for now. The decision follows planning setbacks in Dublin and Cork, even as Manna continues to report strong delivery volume and business partnerships.
