AI Summary of 4. Regulations and orders made by Minister
The Minister has the authority to create regulations or orders under the Act, which may provide different stipulations based on varying circumstances, cases, classes, or types. These regulations or orders can include incidental, supplementary, and consequential provisions deemed necessary or expedient by the Minister.
Furthermore, all regulations or orders issued by the Minister, with the exception of those under section 1(2), must be presented to both Houses of the Oireachtas promptly after enactment. Should either House pass a resolution to annul the regulation or order within 21 sitting days of its presentation, the regulation or order will be annulled, but this does not affect the validity of actions taken under it prior to annulment.
