I propose to take Questions Nos. 938 and 939 together.
The number and name of Bills initiated by my Department since September 2013 is set out in the table below. None of these bills was subject to the pre-legislative scrutiny procedure in the Oireachtas which was provided for in the revisions to Standing Orders adopted by the Dáil on 17 October 2013 and which came into effect on 5 November 2013, primarily given the advanced stage of drafting that had been reached when the Standing Orders were adopted or for reasons of urgency. However, the pre-legislative scrutiny process has been completed in relation to a number of Bills which have not yet been published and I expect that the vast majority of the Bills to be published by my Department under the Government’s Spring/Summer 2015 Legislation Programme will have involved pre-legislative scrutiny.
