The role of the Seanad Select Committee on Scrutiny of EU-related Statutory Instruments is to examine proposals for statutory instruments, made under section 3 of the European Communities Act 1972, which transpose EU Directives into Irish law. The work of the Committee is governed by its terms of reference.
Following examination of a draft statutory instrument, the Committee may decide to refer it to the relevant sectoral joint committee for more detailed scrutiny.
The Seanad Select Committee on Scrutiny of Draft EU-related Statutory Instruments was established on 7 December 2022.
