Statutory Instruments 2007

Through Helen Mulcahy, our law librarian, I've learnt that Statutory Instruments of 2007 are now available in PDF at

www.attorneygeneral.ie/esi/2007/esi_num.html

Strangely, there's now a gap in public Statutory Instrument coverage:

• From 1922 to Number 350 of 2005, go to www.irishstatutebook.ie or www.bailii.org/ie/legis/num_reg/
• There's then a gap for 2005, numbers 351 to 926, and all of 2006.
• For 2007, go to www.attorneygeneral.ie/esi/2007/esi_num.html

The gap is partially filled by the IRLII index of Statutory Instruments, hosted here at UCC by Professor John Mee - see http://www.ucc.ie/law/irlii/si/si.php

However, as is well known, the IRLII Index can only link to SIs which have been published on Government websites, and so is incomplete.

A quick glance at the 2006 list on IRLII suggests that full text PDF links are provided for 36 of the 911 SIs in that year.

Commercial coverage of the SIs is provided by www.firstlaw.ie.
