I met with Commissioner Bulc briefly at Transport Council on 7 June 2016 and again at Transport Council on 8 June 2017. At the latter meeting, I discussed issues relating to the European Commission's proposals on the aviation package and the mobility package, and also on the range of implications for Ireland arising from Brexit.

While I did not attend Transport Council in December 2016, I had the opportunity to meet with Commissioner Bulc while at the Transport Councils of 7 June 2016 and 8 June 2017. At the latter meeting, the Commissioner expressed an interest in visiting Ireland later this year.
