The National Tourism Development Authority (Amendment) Bill 2011 was enabling legislation concerned with increasing the level of funding which can be provided to the National Tourism Development Authority (Fáilte Ireland) out of monies provided by the Oireachtas for capital expenditure projects.  The Bill had only two heads and did not have an impact on the existing regulatory framework.

The CIE Borrowings Bill enacted in 2012 was a technical Bill to increase CIÉ’s borrowing limit for non-capital purposes to €300m. The Bill did not involve regulatory change.
