329 Deputy P. J. Sheehan asked the Minister for Justice and Law Reform if he has examined the proposal to change Irish time to central European time; the legislative requirements necessary to effect such a change; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [27564/10]

330 Deputy P. J. Sheehan asked the Minister for Justice and Law Reform if he has had discussions with the British Government regarding the proposal to change their time zone to central European time; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [27565/10]

I propose to take Questions Nos 329 and 330 together.

I wish to refer the Deputy to my reply to Question No. 116 of 22 April, 2009. The position remains unchanged.

I also wish to inform the Deputy that I have not had discussions with the British Government regarding proposals to change their time zone to central European time.
