Extract from Guide to Irish Law:
Courts and Case law
The main courts website is at www.courts.ie and contains a particularly useful Frequently Asked Questions section.
The principal printed series of reports are the Irish Reports and Irish Law Reports Monthly, cited as ‘IR’ and ‘ILRM’ respectively. Many cases remain unreported and are kept in the libraries of the main Universities or professional bodies. For electronic access to reported and unreported cases, see the following:
British and Irish Legal Information Institute
(Bailii)
The most significant data here are in the Supreme Court (‘IESC’) and High Court (‘IEHC’) directories, which contain
1,241 and 423 cases respectively as of September 2002. The database is not comprehensive
so it is important to consult other sources. The majority of cases date
from 1997 (High Court) and 1998 (Supreme Court.)
Bailii also provides access to decisions of the Competition Authority (‘IECA’) and Information Commissioner
(‘IEIC’).
In addition, Bailii also introduced vendor-neutral citations for the first time in Irish
case-law, e.g. a Supreme Court case on Bailii may be cited as [2000] IESC 12.
Irish Legal Information Initiative
(Irlii)
This site provides a database of 'leading Irish cases' classified by
subject, e.g. constitutional law cases include Attorney General v X
(1992). These cases are also available on the Bailii site.
Note also the Irlii index of cases at www.index.irlii.org.
