The 2016 report of the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht on the establishment of an electoral commission is informing the implementation of the commitment in A Programme for a Partnership Government on establishing an electoral commission and the preparation of an Electoral Commission Bill to give effect to that.  Work is ongoing in my Department in preparing, in the first instance, a Regulatory Impact Analysis for the Bill, which is expected to be completed in the Autumn.
