Firstly, may I apologise for the delay in responding to PQ 499 dated September 2023.
I am advised that, since the commencement of the 33rd Dáil and the date of your Parliamentary Question, my Department has prepared nine Bills. Seven of these involved a Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA). I have outlined these below:
| Number | Bill | Regulatory Impact Assessment |
|---|---|---|
| Bill 3 of 2022 Act 14 of 2022 | Birth Information and Tracing Bill 2022 | Birth Information and Tracing Bill 2022 Regulatory Impact Analysis |
| Bill 23 of 2022 Act 18 of 2022 | Institutional Burials Bill 2022 | The Institutional Burials Bill 2022 Regulatory Impact Analysis. |
| Bill 33 of 2021 Act 4 of 2021 | Family Leave and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2021 | N/A |
| Bill 38 of 2020 Act 20 of 2020 | Commission of Investigation (Mother and Baby Homes and certain related Matters) Records, and another Matter, Bill 2020 | General Scheme of a Preservation and Transfer of Specified Records of the Commission of Investigation (Mother and Baby Homes and certain related Matters) Bill Regulatory Impact Analysis |
| Bill 43 of 2022 Act 21 of 2022 | Child Care (Amendment) Bill 2022 | Child Care (Amendment) Act 2019: Regulatory Impact Analysis |
| Bill 59 of 2022 Act 46 of 2022 | Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) (Amendment) Bill 2022 | N/A |
| Bill 92 of 2022 Act 8 of 2023 | Work Life Balance and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2022 | Regulatory Impact Analysis Work Life Balance and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2022 |
| Bill 97 of 2022 Act 20 of 2023 | Mother and Baby Institutions Payment Scheme Bill 2022 | Mother and Baby Institutions Payment Scheme Bill 2022: Regulatory Impact Analysis |
| Bill 102 of 2021 Act 34 of 2021 | Child and Family Agency (Amendment) Bill 2021 | Child and Family Agency Act (Amendment) Bill Transfer of Education Welfare functions Regulatory Impact Analysis |
The Child Care (Amendment) Act 2019: Regulatory Impact Analysis was prepared for an earlier version of the Child Care (Amendment) Bill 2019, which lapsed with the dissolution of the previous government. The changes proposed in the updated Bill had no effect on the conclusions and recommendations of the previously completed RIA, and so my Department deemed this RIA to remain valid.
An RIA was not prepared for the Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) (Amendment) Bill 2022, as the Bill did not deviate from the positions in the original 2015 Act.
