Ms Niamh O'Brien:

The scope of the airports that will be caught by the ReFuelEU aviation measure will include Shannon, Cork and Dublin, that is, any airports with passenger numbers more than 1 million or with more than 100,000 tonnes of freight.

As Mr. Burke said, this has been subject to EU-wide consultation. However, we have also engaged via our national civil aviation development forum regulatory working group. We have sought the views of members of that group, which includes representatives of Dublin, Cork and Shannon airports and the major airlines. Broadly, this sustainable aviation fuel proposal is very much welcomed.

It is not considered that there will be any significant impact on ticket prices. The anticipation is for an increase of approximately 8.1% by 2050, but it is not anticipated that that increase will come into effect, or start to be felt, until around 2040. The Commission has put a review mechanism in place to see how the regulation is working and the impact it is having on the Internal Market. The first period is from 2028 and a five-year period will follow that. There will be a mechanism to see what impacts it is having. I hope that answers the question.
