I can inform the Deputy that a screening Regulatory Impact Analysis was carried out by my Department on the following pieces of legislation during the years in question.
| Title of Legislation |
| General Scheme of the Property Services Regulatory Authority Bill |
| Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Bill 2006 |
| Scheme of the Immigration, Residence and Protection Bill |
| European Communities (Free Movement of Persons) Regulations 2006 |
| European Communities (Eligibility for Protection) Regulations 2006 |
| Civil Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2006 |
| European Communities (Free Movement of Persons) Regulations 2006 (S.I. 226 of 2006). |
| Amendment of Equality Legislation in order to transpose EU Directive 2004/113/EC into Irish Law |
| Coroners Bill 2007 |
| Explosives Bill 2008 |
| Criminal Justice (Money laundering) Bill |
| Intoxicating Liquor Bill 2008 |
In each of the above instances, and taking into account the particular factors identified and analysed in the screening RIA in question, as well as the guidelines produced by the Department of An Taoiseach on the RIA process, a conclusion was reached that the impacts identified were not such that a full RIA would be required.
