The Garda Síochána Bill 2004 is on Committee Stage before the Seanad at present. It contains a large number of regulation-making provisions relating to, for example, management, discipline and security and it provides that, when enacted, different provisions may be brought into effect on different days. In that context it is premature, at this point, to consider the regulations that may be required to give effect to the various proposals contained in the Bill. Generally speaking, however, it is not the practice to publish proposed regulations in draft form but the matter can be considered further at the appropriate time.
