As stated previously, the European Commission wrote to the Irish Government with a letter of formal notice on the 19 May 2022. Having consulted with the Attorney General’s Office, my Department responded to the Commission on the 19 July 2022. Ireland’s response to the Commission is considered confidential and there are no plans to publish it at this time.

My officials met with the Commission in September with regards to the matter and I can confirm that engagement with the Commission is ongoing. However, I am not in a position to share any correspondence concerning a confidential process. Once the Commission has concluded its enquiry, it will issue its decision.
