I, PETER BURKE, Minister for Enterprise, Tourism and Employment in exercise of the powers conferred on me by section 3 of the European Communities Act 1972 (No. 27 of 1972) and for the purpose of giving full effect to Council Regulation (EU) 2015/735 of 7 May 20151 , as amended, hereby make the following regulations: 1. These Regulations may be cited as the European Union (Restrictive Measures concerning South Sudan) Regulations 2026. 2.

(1)In these Regulations - “Council Regulation” means Council Regulation (EU) 2015/735 of 7 May 20151 as amended by the European acts specified in Schedule 1; “European act” means an act adopted by an institution of the European Union or an institution of the European Communities.
(2)A word or expression which is used in these Regulations and which is also used in the Council Regulation has, unless the context otherwise requires, the same meaning in these Regulations as it has in the Council Regulation. 3. A person who contravenes a provision of the Council Regulation specified in Part 1 of Schedule 2 shall be guilty of an offence. 4. Notwithstanding Regulation 3, a person who has received an authorisation under a provision of the Council Regulation specified in Part 2 of Schedule 2 may, subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of such authorisation, do such of the things as are so authorised. 5. A person who is guilty of an offence under Regulation 3 shall be liable - (

A competent authority in the State, following such consultation as it considers necessary with other competent authorities, for the purposes of the administration and enforcement of the Council Regulation or these Regulations, may give in writing such directions to a person as it sees fit. 7. A person who fails to comply with a direction given under Regulation 6 within the time specified in the direction shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on summary conviction to a class A fine or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 6 months or both. 8. Where an offence under these Regulations is committed by a body corporate and is proved to have been so committed with the consent or connivance of or to be attributable to any neglect on the part of any person, being a director, manager, secretary or other officer of the body corporate, or a person who was purporting to act in such capacity, that person shall, as well as the body corporate, be guilty of an offence and shall be liable to be proceeded against and punished as if he or she were guilty of the first-mentioned offence. 9.
(1)Proceedings for an offence under these Regulations in relation to an act committed outside the State may be taken in any place in the State and the offence may for all incidental purposes be treated as having been committed in that place.
(2)Where a person is charged with an offence referred to in paragraph
(1), no further proceedings in the matter (other than any remand in custody or on bail) may be taken except by or with the consent of the Director of Public Prosecutions.
(3)In proceedings for an offence referred to in paragraph
(1), (

  2. b)a certificate that is signed by an officer of the Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration and stating that, to the best of the officer’s knowledge and belief, the person has not ceased to be an Irish citizen, is evidence that the person was an Irish citizen on the date on which the offence is alleged to have been committed, and is taken to have been signed by the person purporting to have signed it, unless the contrary is shown.
(4)A person who has been acquitted or convicted of an offence in a place outside the State shall not be proceeded against for an offence under these Regulations in relation to an act committed outside the State consisting of the conduct, or substantially the same conduct, that constituted the offence of which the person has been acquitted or convicted.
