The European Commission issued a Letter of Formal Notice (Case 2012/4228) on 31 May 2012. This infringement remains open, but has not been escalated to reasoned opinion stage by the Commission. The most recent written correspondence from the Commission relating to this infringement was dated 6 February 2019, to which Ireland responded on 26 April 2019. The infringement was also discussed with the Commission in November last year at a Package Meeting chaired by the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government.
