Regulatory Impact Analysis (RIA) and Related Legislation

Regulatory Impact Analysis (RIA) is a tool used for the structured exploration of different options to address particular policy issues. It is used where one or more of these options is new regulation or a regulatory change and facilitates the active consideration of alternatives to regulation or lighter forms of regulation.

More information on RIA is available at www.betterregulation.ie.
