Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 2 February 2010
398 Deputy Joe Costello asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs if there are EU directives which require to be transposed into primary or secondary legislation; the list of such directives; the date they were drafted by the Commission; when he intends to transpose them into domestic law; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerThe Department of Foreign Affairs has no EU Directives awaiting transposition.
While my Department has an overall co-ordinating role in EU matters, responsibility for transposing EU measures into Irish law rests with those Departments with responsibility for the policy areas covered by individual EU measures.
My colleague, Mr. Dick Roche T.D., Minister of State for European Affairs, chairs an Interdepartmental Coordinating Committee on European Affairs, which keeps the transposition of EU measures under constant review.
