Irish law

Irish law is a system of rules and regulations that govern behavior in Ireland. It is based on the Constitution, statutes (laws passed by Parliament), and common law (court decisions). The legal system is divided into civil law (disputes between individuals or organizations) and criminal law (offenses against the state). Courts interpret and apply the law, ensuring justice is served. Key principles include equality before the law and the right to a fair trial. Ireland is also a member of the European Union, meaning EU law can impact Irish legislation.
