To date there have been no Bills initiated in my Department that have been subject to the pre-legislative scrutiny procedure in the Oireachtas, which was introduced with effect from November, 2013. There are a number of Bills currently in preparation in the Department which will be brought to the Houses of the Oireachtas in due course. These Bills will, in accordance with Dáil Standing Order 123A, where feasible be sent to the Joint Oireachtas Committee for consideration for the pre-legislative scrutiny procedure.
