The draft heads of the Industrial Development (Amendment) Bill were approved by Government last year. The Joint Oireachtas Committee on Business, Enterprise and Innovation subsequently determined that pre-legislative scrutiny was not required.
My Department has since been working closely with the Office of the Parliamentary Counsel on this legislation. The draft bill is now close to finalisation and I expect that it will be published in December.
