Question:
2767. Deputy Billy Kelleher asked the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government the details of proposals (details supplied) over the 2011 to 2018 period, annually, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35145/18]
View answer
The information requested is being compiled and will be forwarded to the Deputy in accordance with Standing Orders.
The following deferred reply was received under Standing Order 42A
Regulatory Impact Assessments (RIAs) are commonly undertaken within my Department at an early stage in the policy development process, as they are regarded as a valuable tool in deciding the best approach to take.
RIAs are generally applied to proposals for significant legislation, whether that is primary legislation, significant Statutory Instruments, EU Directives or significant EU Regulations. It is not compulsory to apply a RIA to all legislative proposals; for example, certain Statutory Instruments which are technical in nature do not require a RIA. The exceptions to applying a RIA to legislative proposals are set out in the RIA Guidelines published by the Department of An Taoiseach.
The table sets out data on the main legislative proposals published by my Department; the total number annually that underwent a RIA; and the total number annually where the RIA was subsequently published.
