Earlier this week, I signed into effect regulations to implement EU Directive 2004/54/EC (Minimum Safety Requirements for Tunnels in the Trans-European Network). The regulations provide for levels of technical provision that must be attained in all tunnels falling within the ambit of the directive and the establishment of procedures and processes to govern the design, construction and operational phases of such tunnels. In Ireland, the Dublin Port tunnel and the Jack Lynch tunnel fall under the ambit of the directive.
