EU Regulation No. 598/2014 deals with operating restrictions at EU airports. I have asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the Government's plans on this. It would effectively set up the Irish Aviation Authority as the competent body and could see it setting aside An Bord Pleanála planning conditions for the additional runway at Dublin Airport. The latter is a development I support but An Bord Pleanála has put in night-flight and noise-related restrictions. Does the Government plan to simply transpose the regulation by way of statutory instrument or will it bring it forward by primary legislation? Is the Taoiseach aware that, should the Government to this, it will be undermining the independent planning process in this country, namely An Bord Pleanála?

Cabinet dealt with this a number of weeks ago in the context of the presentation of a memo from the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport. I will advise the Minister to contact Deputy Darragh O'Brien.

Members may note we have run ten minutes over time. This is what happens if I disregard the time allocations in the same way that so many other Members here routinely do. If we are to do our business in an efficient manner, I appeal to Members to have regard to the allocated time.
