Manna has announced it will cease drone deliveries in Ireland, citing planning refusals and a lack of progress on regulatory rules as the company shifts its focus to international expansion.

The company, founded by Bobby Healy, announced a “strategic pause” in Irish drone delivery operations on Friday, citing the absence of a clear national framework and planning challenges.
