My Department and agencies under the remit of my Department have not paid any fines relating to cases for infringements of European Union law or failure to transpose EU law since the start of the 33rd Dáil term.

An EU Coordination Unit within my Department is responsible for engaging with the EU Commission on issues relating to transposition of EU law where the Department of Transport has lead responsibility. This Unit reports on a regular basis to the Management Board and Ministerial Management Board of the Department on matters related to EU legislation, including infringement cases initiated by the European Commission and transpositions of adopted Directives.

My Department continues to put in place the necessary measures to improve the transposition, implementation and enforcement of EU transport law in Ireland.
