Departments have responsibility for conducting and preparing regulatory impact assessments (RIAs). The criteria for the development of RIAs are set out comprehensively in the Revised RIA Guidelines (2009), published by the Department of the Taoiseach on its website. RIAs are required to be published by Departments.
