    Hi everyone,

    I would like to learn more about the employment legislation applicable in Ireland and I would like you to advise me on a book.

    I would like to buy a book that states comprehensively the Irish employment legislation and that also contains some case study. The book needs to be very comprehensive and accurate because I will be using it in my everyday job.

    Could you please advise me on the best existing book that I could use professionally?

    Many thanks in advance,

    PL.

    The Law Society Manual on Employment Law. €65.

    There used to be a great book which was aimed at employers, called "Working Within the Law" by Frances Meenan (1999). Unfortunately, it's very out of date. Even so, if it is read alongside an up to date text, it still has its uses.

    Caselaw is mentioned in these books, but there are no case studies of practical examples, as such.

    I've used Principles of Irish Employment Law (Daly, Doherty), which is fairly recent.

    It's only alright, like it's well written but as with most "Principles of..." books, you'll have to do additional work for detail.

    Working within the law was a great one but hasn't been updated for years. I hate using old books because even though you can read up on the intervening years, you never know the extent to which certain principles that came from old case law remain relevant.

    There is also Employment Equality Law which I haven't used but which got a big thumbs up from Judge Geoghegan, no less, in the foreword. So that's possibly worth a look, depending on the purpose of your study.
