The Classified List derives from the Commission’s general statutory mandate in the Law Reform Commission Act 1975 to keep the law under review, and from its participation in the eLegislation Group (Department of the Taoiseach). The Commission also publishes a Classified List of Legislation in Force in Ireland comprising Acts and Statutory Instruments, which may be found on the Commission website. The initial Classified List was developed through a consultative process in 2010, in which a draft was circulated to all Government Departments, following which Version 1 of the Classified List was published on the Commission’s website, www.lawreform.ie. The Commission then published a Consultation Paper on a Classified List of Legislation in Ireland (LRC 62-2010). The Commission updates the Classified List on a regular basis. The Classified List includes all Acts of the Oireachtas (Acts enacted since 1922) that remain in force (over 2,000 Acts as of September 2016).1 The Classified List also includes over 100 of the most used Acts that were enacted before the State was established in 1922 and which remain in force.2 The Commission’s Consultation Paper on a Classified List of Legislation in Ireland also explained the basis for the 36 subject-matter headings. The headings have taken account of: (a) some near- universal and conventional headings, such as Civil Liability, Commercial Law, Criminal Law and Taxation; (b) areas of responsibility of Government Departments in Ireland; (c) headings unique to Ireland, such as Heading 21, Irish Language and Gaeltacht; and (d) headings used in comparable classified compilations of Acts in other Common Law countries, notably the United States of America (both at federal and state level). Format of entries and notations for Departments and in the Classified List Each entry in the Classified List has three columns. For example the first entry in the Classified List is: Department Name of Act No./Year of Act Agric Agriculture Appeals Act 2001 29/2001 Column 1 contains the notation for the Department with which the Act has been identified, Column 2 contains the name of the Act and Column 3 contains the number and year of the Act. 1 The Classified List does not contain any Acts that amend the Constitution of Ireland 1937 (Bunreacht na hÉireann), which are signed into law by the President only after approval in a referendum. The most recent is the Thirty-fourth Amendment of the Constitution (Marriage Equality) Act 2015 (signed by the President, after legal challenges were dismissed by the Court of Appeal, on 29 August 2015). The Thirty First Amendment of the Constitution (Children) Act 2012 (approved at a referendum held in November 2012), was delayed by a Supreme Court challenge to the referendum and was signed into law on 28 April 2015.

  • Catholicism and the Judiciary in Ireland, 1922-1960

    Catholicism and the Judiciary in Ireland, 1922-1960

    IRISH JUDICIAL STUDIES JOURNAL 1 CATHOLICISM AND THE JUDICIARY IN IRELAND, 1922-1960 Abstract: This article examines evidence of judicial deference to Catholic norms during the period 1922-1960 based on a textual examination of court decisions and archival evidence of contact between Catholic clerics and judges. This article also examines legal judgments in the broader historical context of Church-State studies and, argues, that the continuity of the old orthodox system of law would not be easily superseded by a legal structure which reflected the growing pervasiveness of Catholic social teaching on politics and society. Author: Dr. Macdara Ó Drisceoil, BA, LLB, Ph.D, Barrister-at-Law Introduction The second edition of John Kelly’s The Irish Constitution was published with Sir John Lavery’s painting, The Blessing of the Colours1 on the cover. The painting is set in a Church and depicts a member of the Irish Free State army kneeling on one knee with his back arched over as he kneels down facing the ground. He is deep in prayer, while he clutches a tricolour the tips of which fall to the floor. The dominant figure in the painting is a Bishop standing confidently above the solider with a crozier in his left hand and his right arm raised as he blesses the soldier and the flag. To the Bishop’s left, an altar boy holds a Bible aloft. The message is clear: the Irish nation kneels facing the Catholic Church in docile piety and devotion. The synthesis between loyalty to the State and loyalty to the Catholic Church are viewed as interchangeable in Lavery’s painting.

Background to the Marriage Act 2015 A Constitutional Convention was established in 2012 to consider the question of whether an amendment should be made to the Constitution of Ireland to provide for marriage of same- sex couples. The Convention reported on that question in July 2013, and made 3 main recommendations: 1. That the Constitution be changed to allow for civil marriage for same-sex couples. 2. That an amendment be directive. 3. That further legislative change be made in the law on parentage, guardianship and upbringing of children. Almost 80% of the membership favoured changing the Constitution to allow for civil marriage for same-sex couples. The Government decided to hold a referendum on the question of allowing marriage to be contracted by two persons without distinction as to their sex. The Thirty-fourth Amendment of the Constitution (Marriage Equality) Bill 2015 proposed to insert the following section after section 3 of Article 41 of the Constitution: “4 Marriage may be contracted in accordance with law by two persons without distinction as to their sex.” The marriage equality referendum was held on 22 May 2015 and had a turnout of 61% of the electorate. The referendum was passed by 62% of voters which meant Ireland became the first sovereign state to extend marriage rights to same-sex couples by popular vote. Only one constituency returned a negative vote.

    SLAVING IN AUSTRALIAN COURTS: BLACKBIRDING CASES Home About JSPL Submission Information Current Issue Journal of Search South Pacific Law Volume 4 2000 2008 2007 SLAVING IN AUSTRALIAN COURTS: BLACKBIRDING CASES, 1869-1871 2006 2005 By Reid Mortensen[*] 2004 1. INTRODUCTION 2003 2002 This article examines major prosecutions in New South Wales and 2001 Queensland for blackbirding practices in Melanesian waters, and early regulation under the Imperial Kidnapping Act that was meant to 2000 correct problems those prosecutions raised. It considers how legal 1999 argument and adjudication appropriated the political debate on the question whether the trade in Melanesian labour to Queensland and 1998 Fiji amounted to slaving, and whether references to slaving in 1997 Australian courts only compounded the difficulties of deterring recruiting abuses in Melanesia. It is suggested that, even though the Imperial Government conceived of the Kidnapping Act as a measure to deal with slaving, its success in Australian courts depended on its avoiding any reference to the idea of slavery in the legislation itself. This is developed in three parts. Part 1 provides the social context, introducing the trade in Melanesian labour for work in Queensland. Part 2 explores the prosecutions brought under the slave trade legislation and at common law against labour recruiters, especially those arising from incidents involving the Daphne and the Jason. It attempts to uncover the way that lawyers in these cases used arguments from the broader political debate as to whether the trade amounted to slaving. Part 3 concludes with an account of the relatively more effective regulation brought by the Kidnapping Act, with tentative suggestions as to how the arguments about slaving in Australian courts influenced the form that regulation under the Act had to take.
  • Republic of Ireland

    Republic of Ireland

    Update - IRELAND REPUBLIC OF IRELAND Prof. Geoffrey Shannon February 2021 A. New Developments in the field of Divorce (since September 2002) Introduction Article 41.3.2 of the Irish 1937 Constitution provided that ‘no law shall be enacted providing for the granting of the dissolution of marriage’. Following a referendum on 24 November 1995 the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution Act 1995 was passed.1 As a result, Article 41.3.2 of the Constitution was replaced and the Family Law (Divorce) Act 1996 was introduced enabling the Irish courts to grant a decree of divorce. That said, it is often forgotten in the Irish context that from 1922 to 1937 there was no specific prohibition on the granting of divorce decrees in Ireland. Since the last national report, there have been very significant changes in Irish family law in general, and the divorce jurisdiction in particular. Same-sex marriage The Irish Constitution was assumed to contain an implicit prohibition on same-sex marriage. The Thirty-fourth Amendment of the Constitution (Marriage Equality) Act 2015 (previously Bill No. 5 of 2015) amended the Constitution of Ireland to permit marriage to be contracted by two persons without distinction as to their sex.2 It was approved by a referendum on 22 May 2015 by a margin of 62% of voters on a turnout of 61%. This was the first time that a state legalised same-sex marriage through a popular vote. At a practical level, same-sex marriage was introduced in Ireland in November 2015 by the Marriage Act 2015, which came into force on 16 November 2015.3 The first same-sex marriage ceremony was celebrated the next day in Clonmel, County Tipperary.
