View answerGiven the scope of the Deputy's request, it was necessary to canvass all areas of my Department as that was considered to be the most efficient way to gather the information required. As such, the information set out below, regarding a reviews of all Acts and Statutory Instruments sponsored by this Department which became law from 20 February 2020 to date in 2024 and which were necessitated, either in whole or in part, to transpose or give effect to regulations, directives or other measures passed at European Union level, is as accurate as can be provided in the absence of a systematic examination of all Acts & Statutory Instruments enacted by this Department in the last 4 years.
