Irish legal system

The Irish legal system is based on common law, primarily influenced by the Constitution of Ireland, statutes, and judicial precedents. It consists of various courts, including the Supreme Court, Court of Appeal, High Court, and District Courts, addressing different levels of cases. The system emphasizes the protection of rights and fair trials, aided by legal professionals such as solicitors and barristers. Key principles include the presumption of innocence and the right to appeal. Ireland is also a member of the European Union, which means EU laws can impact domestic legal matters.
