Amharc ar fhreagraThe following Bills published by my Department in the period 2011 to 2016 underwent regulatory impact assessment - Veterinary Practice (Amendment) Bill 2011, Welfare of Greyhounds Bill 2011, Animal Health and Welfare Bill 2012, Forestry Bill 2013, Johnstown Castle Agricultural College (Amendment) Bill 2014 and the Horse Racing Ireland Bill 2015. The Foreshore (Amendment) Bill 2011 was the only Bill published by my Department in the period in question that was not subject to a regulatory impact assessment. It was introduced to provide clarity following the transfer of some the foreshore functions to the then Dept. of Environment, Community and Local Government.
