The identification of records prior to 2007 cannot be facilitated without undue commitment of staff resources and administrative cost. As the Deputy is aware, when bills are passed by the Houses of the Oireachtas, they are then published and are available in hard copy or electronic format at www.irishstatutebook.ie and will have Council Directive referenced in the preamble where appropriate. However, if the Deputy has a question in relation to a specific bill I will make appropriate enquiries.

The following table shows the details as requested from 2007 to date.
