The emergency period referenced in Part 2 of the Emergency Measures in the Public Interest (Covid-19) Act 2020 commenced on the date of enactment of the legislation, which was 27 March 2020.

I understand that the provision referred to commenced at the same time.

The text of the Act and the particular provisions queried is set out at the following link .

The interpretation of the legislation and how it applies in particular situations, is a matter for the Courts.
