Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 May 2016
1178. Deputy Jim O'Callaghan asked the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation the status of the companies accounting Bill 2016 which it is intended will transpose the European Union Accounting Directive 2013/34/EU, including when she will transpose the 2013 directive into national law. [9806/16]
View answerHeads of the Companies (Accounting) Bill were approved by Government and submitted to the Office of the Parliamentary Counsel (OPC) in February 2015. An additional set of Heads was subsequently approved by Government and submitted to the OPC in June 2015. I am informed that drafting of the Bill is at an advanced stage.
Once I receive the stamped version of the Bill I will bring it to Government with a view to an early introduction in the Houses of the Oireachtas.
