With regard to both emergency legislation and regulation, does the witness believe we are giving too many powers under regulation? I know it is there in the legislation, but one does not have the same analysis of regulation as one has of legislation. Does she think we should be more careful that in passing legislation we are not, in a way, undermining the role of the Oireachtas by passing powers to the Executive which it can use by way of regulation?
