Questions (134)

Peadar Tóibín

Question:

134. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Taoiseach the details of the process through which his Department drafts and produces legislation; if his Department outsources the drafting of legislation; if so, the Bills for which the drafting has been outsourced since he took office; and the costs associated with the drafting of each Bill. [14428/21]

Written answers

The Taoiseach

My Department is very rarely the sponsor of legislation. As was the case with the Autumn and Spring Legislation Programmes, the forthcoming Summer Legislation Programme will include no bills from my own Department.
