Legislative Programme
74. Deputy Billy Kelleher asked the Taoiseach and Minister for Defence the details of proposals (details supplied) over the 2011 to 2018 period on an annual basis in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35139/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department published the following legislative proposals between 2011 and 2018:
Defence (Amendment) Act 2011;
Civil Defence Act 2012;
Defence Forces (Second World War Amnesty and Immunity) Act 2012;
Defence (Amendment) Act 2015.
In general, legislation emanating from the Department of Defence is focused on Defence issues only and does not apply to the ordinary citizen or business. For this reason, it was considered that a formal regulatory impact assessment was not needed in relation to the legislative proposals published by my Department since 2011. Notwithstanding this, the Department applies the principles set out in the Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA) Guidelines issued by the Department of the Taoiseach where appropriate.
