About

The aim of this book has been to present an accessible and up-to-date consolidated version of the very considerable volume of statute law relating to redundancy, dismissal and employee consultation law in Ireland, together with the most important statutory instruments in this field (also in consolidated form). All subsequent amendments of statutes have been incorporated and footnoted, so that the reader obtains a convenient, clear, easily accessible and reliable guide to Irish legislation in this field. Further, all statutory instruments adopted under legislation which are currently in force (and not obsolete) are referred to in footnotes. In addition, the full consolidated texts of any statutory instruments which it is felt will be of use to practitioners have been included. Where statutes in this volume implement European Community directives which are still in force, the consolidated text of the directive has also been included in this volume, directly after the domestic measure transposing it.

Consolidated Dismissal, Redundancy and Employee Consultation Legislation is indexed in order to facilitate ease of access. It contains the full text of the recently-adopted Employees (Provision of Information and Consultation) Act, 2006.
