Question 171: To ask the Minister for Transport the number of European directives and the titles of these directives that have been issued to his Department since Ireland joined the EU; the number of these that have been implemented; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25057/08]

The volume of directives since 1973 is quite substantial. Details of all EU directives are published in the official journal of the EU. Details of relevant implementing legislation are published in the Iris Oifigiúil. As the cost of compiling the information requested by the deputy would be excessive and given the information is already in the public domain I am not in a position to provide the requested information. If the deputy wishes to request information on a particular directive I will have the relevant information forwarded to the deputy.
