Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications
EU Transport Matters: Discussion with Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport
10:05 am
Mr. Tom O'Mahony:
The lack of progress will not affect Ireland because the area which was delayed related to ground handling. I do not expect the Lithuanian Presidency to progress the issue as it has been concentrating on other aspects of the package. The issue may be progressed next year. In terms of practical effects, only one Irish airport, Dublin Airport, is sufficiently large to come within the scope of the directive. We will not have any difficulty with any issue and none of the issues will have a significant impact on Ireland.
I will ask Mr. Hogan to address the recreational craft issue.
