This book examines the gradually increasing role of national parliaments in the European Union and asks how and why this came about. It takes Ireland as a case study, examining the relationship between Ireland’s parliament (the Oireachtas) and the European Union. It also focuses sharply on parliament’s role in European affairs in Ireland, a jurisdiction of strong comparative interest to the UK . It examines the evolution in national parliaments’ roles, the reasons for change and the challenges that must be faced in making further progress. The book analyses Ireland’s slow parliamentary adaptation to European integration, analyses the impact of the Lisbon Treaty and economic crises in accelerating reform, and identifies where improvement is still badly needed.

Provides a consolidated version of statute law relating to redundancy, dismissal and employee consultation in Ireland. 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 practictioners 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.
