467. To ask the Taoiseach and Minister for Defence if all regulatory impact assessments for his legislative proposals are published on his Department websites; the web address for each such site; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9418/17]

In general, legislation emanating from the Department of Defence is focused on the Defence Forces only and does not apply to the ordinary citizen or to business. For this reason, it has not been considered necessary to publish regulatory impact assessments on legislative proposals on the Department’s website. Notwithstanding this, the Department applies the principles set out in the Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA) Guidelines issued by the Department of the Taoiseach where appropriate.
