A Regulatory Impact Assessment screening is required where a significant SI is planned. Section 30 of the Education Act also obliges the Minister to consult when making regulations to prescribe the curriculum. The RIA Screening is the mechanism through which the consultation is taking place.
A draft Statutory Instrument and a Regulatory Impact screening document was issued to the following bodies for consultation:
The National Parents Council — Primary
Irish National Teachers' Organisation
Educate Together
Church of Ireland Board of Education
Catholic Primary School Managers' Association
Chief Rabbi of Ireland
Islamic Culture of Ireland
Educate Together
Gaelscoileanna
An Chomhairle um Oideachas Gaeltachta agus Gaelscolaíochta
Foras na Gaeilge
Comhdháil Náisiúnta na Gaeilge
Eagraíocht na Scoileanna Gaeltachta
An Foras Patrunachta
National Council for Curriculum and Assessment
National Association of Boards of Management in Special Education Schools Irish Primary Principals' Network
The deadline for feedback was extended to 31 May 2008. The submissions received are being considered. It is intended that views of the organisations consulted will be summarised and included in a finalised Regulatory Impact Screening document and published on the Department's website.
