The judgement referred to by the Deputy is a judgement about the manner in which Ireland transposed an EC environmental Directive. It is not a judgement on the validity of any consent granted to a project or programme.

As I indicated to the House in my reply to Question Number 178 on 22 March 2011, it is my understanding that the consents referred to by the Deputy are valid consents.
