Republic of Ireland
In the Republic of Ireland the term "Statutory Instrument" is given a much broader meaning than under the UK legislation. Under the Statutory Instruments Act 1947 Statutory Instruments are defined as being "an order, regulation, rule, scheme or bye-law made in exercise of a power conferred by statute."
However only certain Statutory Instrument are published and numbered by the Stationery Office, this being mostly where the statute enabling the enactment of delegated legislation required that any such legislation be laid before the Houses of the Oireachtas.

“The first requisite of a good citizen in this republic of ours is that he shall be able and willing to pull his weight.”
—Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919)
“Life springs from death and from the graves of patriot men and women spring living nations.... They think that they have pacified Ireland. They think that they have purchased half of us and intimidated the other half. They think that they have foreseen everything, think they have provided against everything; but the fools, the fools, the fools, they have left us our Fenian dead, and while Ireland holds these graves Ireland unfree shall never be at peace.”
—Patrick Henry Pearse (1879–1916)
