Irish Statute Book, Office of the Attorney General

The electronic Irish Statute Book: every Act of the Oireachtas since 1922 and every statutory instrument, each at a stable ELI address built from year, type and number. A full Act or instrument is served at the /print path; the /html path returns only the arrangement of sections. The site also carries a legislation directory page per Act listing every instrument made under it, which is the only published index of the orders that make up a scheme.

Cannot be cited for

This site publishes Acts **as enacted** and statutory instruments **as made**, and nothing else. It is not the law in force and does not claim to be: the Immigration Act 2004 (Visas) Order 2014 has been amended more than twenty times and the text served at its address is the 2014 original, with no marker to say so. Section 819(4) of the Taxes Consolidation Act 1997 is served in words replaced in 2008. For an Act the Law Reform Commission has revised, the revised text is the one to read; for the Taxes Consolidation Act and for every statutory instrument there is no revised text anywhere, and the current wording has to be assembled from the amending instruments by hand. The directory page for an Act is reachable; the equivalent page for a statutory instrument returned an error when tried.

New Acts and statutory instruments are added as they are signed; existing texts are never updated, because they are published as enacted.
