On 13 December 2007, the European Court of Justice handed down its Judgment in case C 418/04. Ireland has two months to respond formally to the European Commission and to satisfy it that the necessary steps are being taken to meet the requirements of this lengthy Judgment. My Department will shortly meet with Commission officials to discuss the measures that will need to be taken to comply with the Judgment.
