Statute Law (Ireland)

Statute Law (Ireland) refers to laws that have been formally enacted by the Irish Parliament (Oireachtas) through the legislative process. These laws are written statutes or acts that set out specific rules and regulations applicable across the country. They are distinct from common law, which is developed through court decisions. Statute Law provides the legal framework for governance, rights, and responsibilities, and must comply with the Irish Constitution. It is the highest form of law enacted by the legislature and can update, modify, or repeal existing laws to reflect societal changes or address new issues.
