237 Mr. J. O’Keeffe asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if the departmental review of legislation requested by the Attorney General in search of Henry VIII provisions in legislation has been completed; if he will report on the findings; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraIt is assumed that the audit referred to in the Deputy's question is that referred to in the Taoiseach's reply to Question No. 2 of 30 March 2004. To the extent that the audit concerns areas of the statute book within my functional remit, it is ongoing at present but has not so far thrown up instances of legislation of the kind referred to which might require remedial legislative action. I am not in a position to respond regarding the many areas of the statute book not within my functional remit.
