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.

Officers are currently policing the streets without resorting to forcing people to go home, but they can advise.

Justice Minister and Laois-Offaly TD Charlie Flanagan explains why there is a delay in drafting these regulations:
