View answerThe Department of the Taoiseach has no Directives awaiting transposition.
My Department does however have a role in monitoring the transposition of EU Directives. Minister of State, Deputy Noel Treacy chairs an Interdepartmental Coordinating Committee on European Union Affairs. The Committee keeps under review, and works to ensure coherence on, the full range of issues on the EU's agenda. The Committee has a particular focus on the correct and timely transposition of EU legislation.
