I refer to my reply to Parliamentary Question No. 949 of 17th June 2008, which detailed my Department's conduct of Regulatory Impact Analysis in respect of legislation for the period in question.

Regulatory Impact Analysis is conducted in my Department in accordance with the guidelines, published in 2005 by the Department of the Taoiseach. If the Deputy has a question about any specific legislation relevant to my Department enacted over the period in question, I would be happy to look into it.
