Appeal to Minister.

30.—(1) (a) Where the Authority refuses to grant or renew a licence under the Act of 1932 or revokes or suspends such a licence, or where a person to whom such a licence has been granted or renewed by the Authority is dissatisfied with a term or condition attached to or omitted from such a licence, the applicant or licensee may appeal to the Minister.

(b) Where the holder (in this paragraph referred to as “such holder”) of a licence under the Act of 1932 or Córas Iompair Éireann is of the opinion that the grant or renewal of a licence under that Act to another person (or a term or condition attached to or omitted from that licence) materially affects any passenger road service operated by such holder or Córas Iompair Éireann, such holder or Córas Iompair Éireann may appeal to the Minister against that grant or renewal (or against the relevant term or condition or omission).

(2) The Minister, having considered such representations as may be adduced by or on behalf of the appellant and by the Authority, and having considered the public interest regarding the provision of passenger road services in the Authority's functional area, shall grant the appeal or confirm the relevant decision of the Authority or modify that decision, as he thinks fit.

(3) A decision of the Minister on an appeal under this section shall be final and binding on the parties to the appeal.
