Question 703: To ask the Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism the number of Acts passed by the Houses of the Oireachtas sponsored by his Department in each year from 2003 to 2007; the Acts which were legislation wholly or mainly required by Ireland's EU obligations, which were partly so required, and which had no significant or minimal reference to EU legislation; and if in the first two cases Ireland had significant discretion, as to the manner in which EU obligations were translated into domestic law.

The Houses of the Oireachtas have passed three pieces of legislation sponsored by my Department since 2003. The Arts Act and the National Tourism Development Authority Act were both passed in 2003 and the National Sports Campus Development Authority Act in 2006. None of these had any significant reference to EU legislation.
