What I am more interested in is, there is a lack of detail from the Department, so I cannot make an opinion as a member of the committee as to what implications this will have. We have a very large airline sector.

The COM (2021) 561, the ReFuelEU aviation initiative, will take the form of a directly applicable regulation to ensure a level playing field across the EU air transport market. It will oblige fuel suppliers to blend increasing levels of sustainable aviation fuels in jet fuel taken on-board at EU airports. Did the Department consult with sectors in Ireland on that? What is the feedback? What are the implications? What are the views of the airlines and the airports? Has the Department had interaction of that kind?
