Parcel deliveries between Cork and Shannon in 45 minutes. Shopping drops to islands off the South-West. Priority pharma and emergency medical packages by air. 

The prospect is on the horizon as drone technology firm Iona aims to radically change Ireland’s package delivery infrastructure, planning to begin its first Irish commercial operations later this year.
