    Public Health Law During the COVID-19 Pandemic in Ireland Editors: Alan Eustace, Sarah Hamill, Andrea Mulligan A Public Policy Report of the COVID-19 LEGAL OBSERVATORY School of Law, Trinity College Dublin https://www.tcd.ie/law/tricon/covidobservatory/ Harnessing Trinity’s Collective Expertise for the Greater Good 3 August 2021 i ABOUT THE COVID-19 LEGAL OBSERVATORY Harnessing Trinity’s Collective Expertise for the Greater Good COVID-19 presents an unprecedented public health crisis. New laws were introduced at a rapid pace on the basis of compelling public health and economic concerns. Universities play a vital role in ensuring that laws are effective but also that rights and fundamental freedoms are protected insofar as possible, even in emergency circumstances. To address this, the COVID-19 Law and Human Rights Observatory1 of Trinity College Dublin engages in research across the full range of Ireland’s legal response to COVID-19. Academics in the Observatory the work with research assistants to identify, aggregate, contextualise, explain, and analyse the legal components of Ireland’s COVID-19 response. We aim both to inform the public and to provoke public debate. The Observatory’s Blog2 publishes academic commentary on Ireland’s legal response to COVID-19 as it evolves. The Observatory also provides an unofficial consolidated version of Ireland’s regulatory response to COVID-19, as well as a range of official guidance documents. This is the fourth public policy report of the Observatory. The first report, COVID-19: Public Policy Report on Supporting Individuals examined how public policy could support individuals against the backdrop of COVID-19;3 the second report, Ireland’s Emergency Powers During COVID-19 was completed on behalf of the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission and explored how Ireland deployed emergency powers during the pandemic;4 the third report, A Right to Disconnect: Irish and European Legal Perspectives, explored 1 https://www.tcd.ie/law/tricon/covidobservatory/index.php.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business by an authorized administrator of Northwestern University School of Law Scholarly Commons. Chuaigh Ár Lá1 – Debt of A Gaelsman: Ireland’s Sovereign Debt Crisis, National and International Responses James Croke* Abstract: How did a small island nation on the periphery of Europe go from the pauper of the European Union, to a paragon of a market economy, and back to fiscal ruin within the space of twenty years? Ireland was the poorest nation in the European Economic Community (EEC) in 1988. In the late 1980’s and early 1990’s it undertook structural reforms to fundamentally reshape its economy, the result was a booming economy throughout the mid-to-late 1990’s and early 2000’s, primarily fueled by exports and foreign direct investment. Rather than continue on a sustained, but slower, growth path in the 2000’s, the Irish went on a credit binge that inflated domestic property prices to dizzying highs and resulted in a financial hangover, the likes of which had never been seen before in the Republic.
