Revised Acts, Law Reform Commission

Maintains the text in force

Administrative consolidations of Irish Acts, prepared by the Law Reform Commission under the Law Reform Commission Act 1975. Each revised Act prints the date it is updated to, the latest Act and statutory instrument considered in its preparation, and annotations after every section recording which instrument inserted, substituted or deleted each passage, with the commencement date and the commencing order.

Maintains the current text of the law as amended, so you can read a provision as it stands today rather than reconstructing it from amendments.

Cannot be cited for

The Commission states on every page that it assumes no responsibility and gives no guarantees as to accuracy or completeness; a revised Act is an administrative consolidation, not an official text, and where it differs from the Acts it consolidates the Acts prevail. Its revision date is a cut-off: an amendment commenced after it is not in the text. The editorial apparatus is inside the sentences - F-markers, square brackets and ellipses sit between words - so a quotation cannot be taken across one, and the annotations and editorial notes are the Commission's own writing rather than anything enacted. Coverage is partial: there is no revised text of the Taxes Consolidation Act 1997 or of the Aliens Act 1935, and the Commission revises Acts only, never statutory instruments.
