The Government published its Spring Legislation Programme in January which is available on Gov.ie. My Department is currently progressing two priority Bills, namely the Gas Safety (Amendment) Bill 2023 and the Environment Protection Agency and Waste Management (Amendment) Bill 2024.
Government approved the general scheme of the Gas Safety(Amendment) Bill in November last year. It is currently with the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment and Climate Action for pre-legislative scrutiny. The general scheme/heads of the Environment Protection Agency and Waste Management (Amendment) Bill 2024 are being prepared my Department and will be brought to Government shortly.
All other Bills on the programme under the remit of my Department, are progressing and will be brought to Government and before the Oireachtas in line with the legislative process.
