The EU is a collection of different countries that work together to make things easier, better and safer for people.

The 27 member states have also agreed a set of values which are important for how we treat each other and protect the rights of our citizens. Irish citizens are also EU citizens.

EU Laws in Ireland As well as applying the law that is made here in Ireland, the Irish courts have to apply EU law. The EU has brought us some really important laws, for example: The right to equal pay Women are often paid less than men for doing the same work. EU law guarantees women the right to be paid fairly for the work they do and they can bring cases to court to insist on being paid equally. private Protecting our personal information Every time you use a phone or an ipad, you create personal information called ‘data’ which is very valuable because it tells people a lot about you, what you like and dislike, and even where you are! EU law makes sure that your personal information is protected, to keep you safe. Helping police forces to solve crimes Police forces rely on information being shared when they are trying to solve crimes. EU law really helps this by, for example, allowing someone who is thought to be guilty of a crime to be moved to another member state where their criminal court case can be held. quiz question Can you think of some important rights that you have as a citizen of Ireland? quiz question learn about the law What is the name of the international agreement on Climate Change?

Countries who stick to the agreement will help to protect the planet. All countries of the European Union, including Ireland, have joined the Agreement. 6 quiz question learn about the law The Courts in Ireland There are 5 different levels of court in Ireland. The courts deal with ‘civil’ cases and ‘criminal’ cases. Civil Cases Civil cases are disputes between people or companies. They can involve rows about property, money, rights or family problems. Tough Word Dispute: A disagreement or an argument. Criminal Courts of Justice, Dublin Criminal Cases When someone has been charged with a serious criminal offence then a criminal trial takes place, when a jury of 12 people decide whether or not they are guilty of the criminal offence. These are called criminal cases. Not every criminal case has a jury. Did you know?

  • 1 an Taoiseach Enda Kenny TD Department of an Taoiseach
    An Taoiseach Enda Kenny TD Department of an Taoiseach Government Buildings Merrion Street Dublin 2 4 November 2014 RE: Law Enforcement Access to Data in the Irish Cloud Dear Taoiseach, As you know, the American Chamber of Commerce Ireland has close working relationships with the global American Chamber network. This network represents the interests of American multi-national companies across the world. The American Chamber of Commerce Ireland is one of the largest chambers in Europe as a result of the large base of American companies located in Ireland. These companies provide benefits, and economic growth in Europe, and several are technology companies that offer cloud-computing technology to European customers. Europeans can derive many benefits from widespread adoption of cloud computing technology. However, many Europeans may be hesitant to embrace cloud services because of lack of clarity about how their data is stored in remote data centres, many of which are located in Ireland. As a result of a number of matters that have been widely reported, such as the Snowden disclosures, European citizens have become more sensitive to ensuring respect for their right to privacy, including controls over how and to what extent data relating to them might be accessed by law enforcement authorities. The multijurisdictional dimension of cloud computing presents a number of legal challenges in this regard. This letter addresses one of the specific concerns - the extraterritorial reach of law enforcement authorities to access data in the context of routine criminal investigations. We believe that this concern can be effectively addressed by the Irish and US governments, to enhance the public’s trust while also increasing the effectiveness of law enforcement.

  • Ireland Independent Judiciary 2006
    Brian Curtin v Dail Eireann, Seanad Eireann, et al. Supreme Court [2006] IESC 14, 2 IR 556 9 March 2006 HEADNOTE: Article 35.4.1o of the Constitution provides:- "A judge of the Supreme Court or the High Court shall not be removed from office except for stated misbehaviour or incapacity, and then only upon resolutions passed by Dail Eireann and by Seanad Eireann [lower house and upper house of parliament, respectively] calling for his removal." Pursuant to s. 39 of the Courts of Justice Act 1924, Circuit Court Judges held office by the same tenure as High Court Judges. The applicant, a judge of the Circuit Court, sought to challenge by way of judicial review, a direction of an Oireachtas [Parliament] committee (established following the proposal of a resolution to remove him from office pursuant to Article 35.4.1o of the Constitution) to produce his personal computer to the committee. It was accepted that the computer contained material which constituted child pornography, as defined by the Child Trafficking and Pornography Act 1998, but the applicant contended that the material was not knowingly in his possession. The applicant had been prosecuted on indictment for offences under the Act of 1998 and acquitted by direction of the trial judge, by reason of the fact that the warrant used to enter his property had been invalid on the date of its execution, when the computer was seized by the gardai. The computer was retained in the possession of the Garda Commissioner. As part of the scheme to enable the Oireachtas to deal with the case of the applicant under Article 35.4.1o, the Oireachtas passed the Committees of the Houses of the Oireachtas (Compellability, Privileges and Immunities of Witnesses) (Amendment) Act 2004, which provided for the attendance of a judge as a witness before an Oireachtas committee and the Child Trafficking and Pornography (Amendment) Act 2004 which was designed to permit hearings to be conducted and material to be considered without breach of the Act of 1998.

  • Address of the Hon. Mr Justice Frank Clarke, Chief Justice of Ireland, to the Law Reform
    Address of The Hon. Mr Justice Frank Clarke, Chief Justice of Ireland, to the Law Reform Commission Annual Conference, November 2017 ____________ Firstly can I thank the President for the opportunity to do the one thing I have wanted all my life; that is to be the warm up act for Michael McDowell and Dearbhail McDonald. Those who are old enough will remember that, in a previous life, one John Quirke was a quite distinguished scrum half in rugby who represented Leinster and occasionally Ireland. So I feel now like the out-half who has just been passed the ball by the nippy scrumhalf and I have to make a number of decisions. Do I deploy the hard-running of inside-centre McDowell; or the silkier skills of outside-centre McDonald; or do I try and go for a run on my own; or do I put up a Garryowen and throw up a few ideas and see where they land. I will leave it up to you at the end of my address to determine which of these plays I have decided to deploy. I would like to do two things. First, I hope to make some general observations on where we are at in relation to law reform, particularly so far as it affects the courts, as that is the day job and it is my job to consider these matters in relation to the courts; and second, to seek to apply those general observations to a number of areas which might benefit from future research on the part of the Law Reform Commission.
