Amharc ar fhreagraRegulatory Impact Analyses (RIAs) are undertaken by my Department in accordance with the relevant Department of the Taoiseach guidelines on significant legislative, policy and other changes.
A Regulatory Impact Analysis is not ordinarily undertaken on the package of tax, welfare and other measures announced in the annual Budget Day Statements. As most of the Social Welfare Bills provide for the implementation of various budgetary measures, RIAs are not considered necessary in relation to these measures. Social Welfare Bills also provide for a range of other miscellaneous and technical amendments to the social welfare code and these types of amendments are not considered amenable to the undertaking of a RIA.
All measures proposed by my Department, and RIAs undertaken are available at:
Details of all RIAs are available on my Department’s website at: www.welfare.ie/en/Pages/Regulatory-Impact-Assessment_holder.aspx.
