Deputy Niall Collins asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the number of regulatory impact assessments that have been carried out by his Department in the past twelve months and the list of regulatory impact assessments carried out within his Department in the past twelve months. [57765/12]
View answerI refer to the Deputy's parliamentary question regarding the number of Regulatory Impact Assessments (RIA’s) that have been carried out by my Department.
In the past twelve months my Department has completed one Regulatory Impact Assessment on the proposed Regulation of Lobbying Bill. This RIA is due to be submitted to Government shortly together with the General Scheme of the Bill.
Outline screening Regulatory Impact Analysis (RIA) was completed on the General Scheme of the Bills in the case of the Protected Disclosures in the Public Interest Bill and the Freedom of Information Bill. Final RIA’s are being prepared and when drafting of the Bills has been completed, both will be submitted to the Government for approval to publish.
