IBEC welcome public consultation process on regulatory appeals

BUSINESS leaders welcomed yesterday’s announcement of a public consultation process on regulatory appeals.

IBEC head of legal and regulatory affairs Marie Daly said it was something that it was pushing for.

“There is a bitty structure in Ireland at the moment for regulatory appeals. This ranges from whether an appeal will be heard, when an appeal can be heard and where it can be heard. This disparate structure in regulatory appeals causes inconsistencies, delays and costs, which in turn cause a significant economic impact.”
