The guards are at my door. They've seen the footage, old Donny trump is on the phone saying he likes how I disregard the rules, wants me for a follow up mission to Venezuela for recon over no fly zones.
We can start with "nothing of the beliefs and practices of our ancestors survived the 800 years between the advent of Christianity in Ireland and the Vikings"; move through to "this is a stone age monument and predates the arrival of the Irish by millenia"; and all the way through "referring to the Irish as Celts is historically anachronistic and serious students of the peoples of this Isle or the European peoples at the time of the turning of the Iron Age will know there were no Celtic peoples, only Celtic language speaking peoples"; we arrived here centuries before the Celtic language that gave rise to Irish - it did not arrive with a conquering army.
Just to warn others, flying drones above national monuments (of which Beltany stone circle is one) is not allowed unless you have express permission from the OPW.
When last I investigated this, the situation was such that it is not permitted by the OPW to operate drones on their property.
The operation within any airspace is not, as I understand it, theirs to determine but is determined by the IAA.
You'll be absolutely fucked if anything goes wrong, and they will prosecute to the fullest if it does. But as I understand it, it is not within their statutory remit to descide what flies over national monuments - let alone national monuments they actually maintain.
So, in theory (and I don't do it, because I don't want to deal with the hassle that would inevitably come from it); I could rock over to Tara, fly a drone from the road and (adhering to the Line of Sight laws) over Tara as long as I am not operating on land they own.
If there were people in the area then the drone would have not been up. As to the fragility of the site I don't think a 249g drone is going to do too much damage to multiple ton rocks, less so than the 15+ sheep I've seen on that site on multiple occasions. Applications for permission can take up to 30 days with the OPW, I see fog rolling in it's too late for that. Also I love how intensely they are trying to police the use of drones when at a multitude of heritage sites in Ireland I've come across fire debris, litter, graffiti and teenagers climbing all over things. "You can under no circumstances fly a drone over heritage sites...unless you pay us a fee..."
Just get your license folks and be smart around people (plenty of space). If I end up in Portlaoise behind bars for this post then so be it. 😂😂
Thats amazing 👏
fantastic
That gentleman is now cursed.

Weird, I was listening to this song when I clicked on the vid. Feels kinda fitting (especially the second part)

My only really human quality to speak of is a fondness for Celtic mysticism.
There's no such thing.

Cool!

Good man, was just wondering the same.

Sharing a cell with Burke. Lol
The OPW just don't allow it. I've tried to get permission from them, their response was just "this isn't allowed".
Weathers shite though and we need vitamin d supplements but it’s nice aye
