674. To ask the Minister for Health the reason he is unable to publish the regulatory impact analysis carried out in connection with the Public Health (Standardised Packaging of Tobacco) Bill 2014 since under the Department of Taoiseach guidelines it should have been prepared in parallel with the Bill and submitted to government at the same time; if all relevant Department of Taoiseach guidelines were followed in preparing the legislation; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

A Regulatory Impact Analysis (RIA) has been completed for the Public Health (Standardised Packaging of Tobacco) Bill 2014. It is my intention that the RIA will be published shortly. All relevant legal requirements were followed in preparing this legislation.
