Laying a document
You need to register to use the Documents Laid application. A new version launched in December 2020; if you registered before that date you will need to register again. Here is a quick guide to registration.
Documents Laid are documents that are formally submitted to the Houses of the Oireachtas in order to support the democratic process. They include reports of Oireachtas committees, Government Departments, State boards and statutory bodies. The Library & Research Service manages the process by which documents are laid before parliament.
