My Department prepares and conducts Regulatory Impact Analyses in line with the Revised RIA Guidelines as published in 2009.
As the Deputy is no doubt aware, it can be the case that due to the nature of the specific legislative proposal proposed a RIA is not always required in each instance of new legislation.
I have listed all the legislative proposals as per the Deputy's question in the following table:
