Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

Does the Taoiseach recall that on a number of occasions, I raised one of the actions recommended in the Government's White Paper on regulatory reform in relation to the legislative process, namely, to improve the information flow and, specifically, the publication in advance of legislation of the draft heads of a Bill?

Rather than going over all of the previous points, questions and exchanges we have had over the years on this matter, can the Taoiseach indicate to the House the number of Bills or the proportion of them in which the heads have been published in advance of the legislation since the start of the 29th Dáil and to which Departments they applied?
