View answer
My Department is currently transposing 7 EU Directives with upcoming deadline dates, details are available in Table A at the link.
In addition, within the remit of my Department, there are 12 cases where the European Commission has identified possible infringements of EU law on the basis of its own investigations or following complaints from citizens, businesses or other stakeholders on Directives transposed already by Ireland. Further information on the infringement process is available: commission.europa.eu/law/application-eu-law/implementing-eu-law/infringement-procedure_en#:~:text=According%20to%20the%20EU%20treaties,which%20can%20impose%20financial%20sanctions.
Table B at the link outlines the details in respect of these twelve EU Directives. Officials from my Department are working with the Commission to resolve all of these as expeditiously as possible.
