My Department has only one current application for a route change in County Mayo. The change in question is part of a restructuring of the overall route on the Galway to Derry service.

As this is an international service it is governed by Council Regulation (EEC) No 684/92. Under this regulation any amendment to a regular service requires the agreement of all Member States concerned before it can be approved. Accordingly details of the proposed restructuring on this route have been sent to the Northern Ireland Authorities for approval and once received my Department will finalise the restructuring request.

This is a day-to-day operational matter for the company concerned and not one in which I have any role.
