    Something which may be of interest here - the irishstatutebook.ie website now has pre-Union Irish legislation and UK acts which still apply in the Republic. Still missing are English acts extended to Ireland under Poynings Law, although 1701-1782 GB legislation extended to Ireland is there.

    http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/pre-acts.html

    All in their original format, not revised of course, so in many ways probably more useful to historians than lawyers. Still better than what was there before.

    Thank you! Most useful. It was there but not in complete and searchable form. Obliged!

    If it was there, I hadn't come across it before. The site showed the amendments to pre-1922 acts definitely.

    For instance, I've looked for the Petty Sessions Act before, and had to go to Justis to get it. Now it's here for anyone to find.

    This is excellent.
