Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 25 July 2023
300. Deputy Violet-Anne Wynne asked the Minister for Finance further to Parliamentary Question No. 267 of 20 June 2023, if he will provide an update on the Finance Bill and primary legislation set out in section 92 to reflect transfer of Department functions; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [36097/23]
View answerIn exercise of powers conferred upon me by Section 92 (as amended by section 36 of the Finance Act 2020 (No. 26 of 2020)) of the Finance Act 1989 (No. 10 of 1989), I am required to consult with the Minister for Health and with the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment in respect of any changes to regulations concerning the Disabled Drivers and Disabled Passengers Scheme.
My officials are seeking advice to ascertain whether existing regulations transferring Departmental functions, or other primary legislation regarding changes in Ministers' and Secretary Generals' responsibilities, may already give effect to changes in consultation requirements with the relevant Ministers, in respect of any changes to DDS regulations.
Once this matter is clarified, I will consider the matter further.
