I will give some background on the detail I referred to. The draft statutory instrument that was circulated to the Seanad EU scrutiny committee on 1 November 2023 was an earlier version which had undergone significant changes between that date and the date of request to publish, which was received on 26 February 2024. At the time of request to publish the draft statutory instrument, a final version was with the Minister for signing and it was considered in that case that the publication of the old draft statutory instrument would lead to confusion for stakeholders. It had been superseded by a further version which, I understand, had been published at that stage.
