To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if he will list all reviews of Acts carried out by his Department in line with the provisions of the Act in question from 2000 to date; if a summary will be provided of any substantive amendments of the Act in question that occurred on foot of each review and the amending legislation, if any, in each case; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine has responsibility for approximately20 pieces of primary legislation passed by the Oireachtas in the relevant time period. While legislation under the remit of my department is constantly kept under review as a general policy, no statutory provision was included in any of the legislation in question requiring that a statutory review of the relevant Act be undertaken. Consequently, there have been no statutory reviews of my Department's legislation with the result that no amendments have occurred on foot of such reviews.
