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.
