Amharc ar fhreagraRegulatory impact assessments (RIA) are prepared in relation to all proposals for primary legislation involving changes to the regulatory environment. However, most of the legislation brought forward by my Department does not impact significantly on the regulatory environment. In July 2016 a regulatory impact assessment was finalised in relation to the Diplomatic Relations (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill. It was carried out in accordance with the RIA Guidelines published by the Department of the Taoiseach, including analysis of relevant costs, benefits and impacts. This RIA is available on my Department’s website.
