The Health and Criminal Justice (Covid-19) (Amendment) (No. 2) Act 2021 extended to 31 March 2022 the period of application of certain emergency provisions that have been key to the Government’s response to the Covid-19 pandemic. The Act makes provision for one extension of these provisions, for a maximum period of three months, by way of resolution of both Houses of the Oireachtas. No decision has yet been made in relation to the latter issue.
