The Justice Minister says there was a delay in drafting the regulations.

The Justice Minister is hopeful regulations giving effect to emergency powers for the gardaí will be finalised this week.

Legislation to allow gardaí to have new powers throughout the COVID-19 crisis have been signed into law but they are not yet able to enforce them.
