I will not be accepting this amendment. The Bill provides for extensive public consultation, technical discussions between the Dublin Airport Authority, the Irish Aviation Authority and slot co-ordinators, a robust appeals process and, finally, recourse to the courts for judicial review. It was considered prudent to include in the Bill the power to make regulations in circumstances where further dispute mechanisms may be required, even if the need is unlikely, given what I have described, especially in respect of recourse to the courts.
