An appellant may appeal to the Circuit Court, on notice to the Authority, against the Authority’s decisions under sections 109, 114(4), 115, 124, 126 or 127, or where a notice of non‑compliance under section 193(2)(a) states the Authority is satisfied a licence holder has contravened a relevant obligation and specifies condition(s) under section 193(2)(b)(ii), against that finding and/or the imposition of any such condition(s). Appeals must be made within 14 days of notification of the decision and, if the appellant is resident in the State, be brought in the circuit where the appellant ordinarily resides or carries on business; otherwise they are to the Dublin Circuit Court.

On appeal the Circuit Court may refuse the appeal or, where applicable, allow it and direct the Authority to transfer, grant or renew a licence (for decisions under ss.109, 114(4), 115, 126 or 127), or to issue a certificate (for decisions under s.124). For appeals arising from section 193(2) findings the Court may allow the appeal in respect of the imposition of a condition and/or the finding as to contravention. The Authority must comply with any direction under these provisions and notify the appellant as soon as practicable after doing so.
