Work on drafting legislation to transpose the EU directive on environmental noise assessment and management into national law is continuing, in consultation with the various bodies concerned including relevant local authorities, the Environmental Protection Agency, the National Roads Authority, the Department of Transport and bodies under its aegis. My Department is aiming to complete the transposition process and give effect to the directive later this year.
