In this Act, “relevant statutory instrument” means any regulation made under: (a) the Health (Preservation and Protection and other Emergency Measures in the Public Interest) Act 2020; b) the Emergency Measures in the Public Interest (Covid-19) Act 2020; (c) the Criminal Justice (Enforcement Powers) (Covid-19) Act 2020; (d) the Health (Amendment) Act 2020; (e) the Health (Amendment) (No. 2) Act 2021; and (f) the Health (Amendment) (No. 3) Act 2021.”." I expected this amendment to be grouped with others because it is relevant to a number of other amendments. That is why in later amendments we provide for the Oireachtas health committee to be able to waive scrutiny in the Dáil by saying that the statutory instruments could be laid after the Minister has made the regulations, with the approval of that committee.
