Law of Ireland
Ireland has a common law legal system with three main sources of law:
- The Constitution of Ireland 1937 (Bunreacht na hÉireann)
- Legislation, mainly Acts of the Oireachtas (Irish Parliament)
- Case law
While Ireland became an independent state in 1922, the 1922 Constitution carried all previous UK law forward into Irish law, unless it was subsequently amended. The 1937 Constitution also carried forward all pre-1937 law.
