No parliamentary oversight on any of this. Ministerial orders (as allowed under the emergency powers, renewed by Oireachtas this week) can be overturned by a majority in either house but only as a whole - you can’t strike out the individual lines you don’t like 
(Rural Inds are the only ones who’ve tried - in summer 2020 they tried to annul the rule requiring publicans to keep a#log of ‘substantial meals’ but, in doing so, would have rescinded almost every other restriction on gatherings/hospitality, all covered in a single regulation)
All of which means the Govt Leader in the Seanad might well be peeved, but there’s nothing she or any other non-minister can do to stop this
