Standing Order 164A of Dáil Eireann Standing Orders 2016 and Standing Order 168 of Seanad Eireann Standing Orders 2017 provide that "twelve months following the enactment of a Bill, save in the case of the Finance Bill and the Appropriation Bill, the member of the Government or Minister of State who is officially responsible for implementation of the Act shall provide a report which shall review the functioning if the Act and which shall be laid in the Parliamentary library."

I can advise the Deputy that between March 2011 and 7 October 2019, seventeen post enactment scrutiny reports ("PESRs") were prepared by my Department and laid in the Parliamentary library. The list of the PESRs duly laid are available at the following link:

The document provided at the following link sets out in tabular form the legislation passed between March 2011 and 7 October 2019 for which I, as Minister for Finance, sponsored and for which my Department - the Department of Finance - is responsible for.

The Deputy might note that the Central Bank and Financial Services Authority of Ireland (Amendment) Act 2017 enacted on 25 July 2017 has not been included as although it relates to an area of legislation for which the Department of Finance has responsibility, it was a Private Members' Bill.

The Deputy might also note that the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union (Consequential Provisions) Act 2019 enacted on 17 March 2019 has not been included in the schedule as although the Department of Finance was responsible for certain aspects of the legislation, the Department was not responsible for that Act overall.
