I propose to take Questions Nos. 71 and 72 together.
Since 2011 my Department has sponsored five items of legislation, as set out in the following table.
Post-enactment scrutiny was adopted for the duration of the 31st Dáil through Standing Order 141A, effective from 5 November 2013, and was adopted by Standing Order 164A for the 32nd Dáil. In that light, the requirement does not apply to the first three pieces of legislation listed as they pre-date the requirement.
The Diplomatic Relations (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act and the Protection of Cultural Property in the event of Armed Conflict (Hague Convention) Act, were both enacted in December 2017. Post-enactment reports for both of these are currently being prepared in accordance with the requirements of Standing Order 164A, and will be published in due course.
