Question 1106: To ask the Minister for Defence 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.

My Department sponsored two Acts which were passed by the Houses of the Oireachtas during the period specified by the Deputy. These were the Defence (Amendment) Act 2006, which was enacted on 12 July 2006, and the Defence (Amendment) Act 2007, which was enacted on 21 April 2007. Neither Act was wholly or partly required by Ireland's EU obligations.
