Since my Department was established in June 2020, it has prepared eight general schemes which have been referred to Oireachtas Committees for pre-legislative scrutiny. The table below sets out the information requested:
Title of general scheme | Date referred | Date published |
---|---|---|
General Scheme of the Parent’s Leave and Benefit (Amendment) Bill 2020* | 8 January 2021 | 8 December 2020 |
General Scheme of the Certain Institutional Burials (Authorised Interventions) Bill | 12 January 2021 | 12 January 2021 |
General Scheme of the Child Care (Amendment) [Guardian ad litem] Bill 2021 | 22 November 2021 | 22 November 2021 |
General Scheme of the Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) (Amendment) Bill | 30 November 2021 | 22 November 2021 |
General Scheme of the Birth Information and Tracing Bill | 11 May 2021 | 11 May 2021 |
General Scheme of a Mother and Baby Institutions Payment Scheme Bill | 31 March 2022 | 31 March 2022 |
General Scheme of the Work Life Balance and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2022 | 25 April 2022 | 21 April 2022 |
General Scheme of the Child Care (Amendment) Bill 2023 | 18 April 2023 | 19 April 2023 |
I note that while the General Scheme of the Parent’s Leave and Benefit (Amendment) Bill 2020 was referred to the Oireachtas on 8 January 2021, its provisions were incorporated into the Family Leave Bill 2021 and subsequently renamed the Family Leave and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2021.
