Mr. Donal Grant:

As Mr. Flynn said, each member state has one or more representatives on this committee. It is set out under the directive. It meets four times a year, usually in Brussels, but it is currently meeting virtually. If the Commission chooses to grant Ireland a derogation, it will present the measures within that derogation. The presentation of those measures will have to be immediately followed by a vote by the committee. Each member state has one vote to either grant or not grant the derogation to Ireland.
