Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the process he intends to undertake in relation to the establishment on an appeal mechanism to independently examine, where required, the application of the competent authority's legal responsibility in adhering to the ICAO balanced approach in implementing EU Regulation No. 598/2014; and if such a body must be in place prior to the commencement of the implementation of the regulation.

The legislation currently in preparation in my Department, in consultation with the Attorney General's Office, will make specific provision for an independent appeal body.  The precise details of the process under which the appeal body, of up to five persons with relevant expertise, will be constituted remains under consideration.  Decisions of the Competent Authority may be referred to this appeal body which will be established by me in consultation with my colleagues, the Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government and the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment. In these circumstances, it is not necessary for the appeal body to be in place prior to the commencement of the legislation, which is expected by the end of the year.
