Written answers

Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade

Most of the legislation brought forward by my Department does not routinely impact significantly on the regulatory environment. Regulatory Impact Assessments are carried out on all legislation as necessary. However, since March 2011, no Regulatory Impact Statements have been carried out across my Department.
