Section 34

An Bord Pleanála had functions in relation to the determination of appeals made by any person in relation to a grant or refusal of a licence under section 32 or a revised licence under section 33 of the Act to discharge emissions to the atmosphere. These functions were however transferred from An Bord Pleanála to the Environmental Protection Agency by the Environment (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act, 2015 with effect from 31st August, 2015.

An Bord Pleanála therefore no longer has any function in relation to current Air Pollution appeals.
