I propose to take Questions Nos. 216 and 217 together.

The Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Task Force was established in December 2023, to bring together stakeholders, to contribute to the development of a national SAF Policy Roadmap. To date, it has held four meetings, with another expected to take place in Q4 of 2024.

The membership of the Task Force can be found in the Terms of Reference, which are available on Gov.ie, also available are notes of the Task Force meetings.

Please note, the fourth meeting of the Task Force took place on 16 July 2024. The minutes of this meeting will be agreed with Task Force members at the next meeting in Q4 and will then be published on the website.

My Department is currently drafting the SAF Policy Roadmap, which is targeted for completion by the end of 2024.
