Employment Equality Law
Sex Discrimination Law by Kimber and Bolger, was published 12 years ago. Since then employment equality has moved beyond sex equality and now covers nine additional grounds, including nationality, race, age and disability.. New Title: Employment Equality Law This new title Employment Equality Law covers not just sex equality, but all aspects of employment equality law covered by the Employment Equality Acts 1998-2011. It covers Irish law, as well as EU law and decisions of the European Court of Justice, and on occasion, important precedents from other jurisdictions. It provides a detailed consideration of the Employment Equality Acts 1998-2011 and the area of non-discrimination law in Irish ...
Systemic Discrimination in Employment and the Promotion of Ethnic Equality
This book argues that traditional complaint-based antidiscrimination laws are inherently inadequate to respond to systemic discrimination in employment. It examines the mechanisms and characteristics of systemic discrimination and the shortcomings of complaint-based laws. Yet these characteristics can also inform employers and government authorities of the kinds of preventive action that help alleviate systemic discrimination at the workplace. In its search for a rational government policy response to systemic discrimination, the book evaluates selected legal regimes which impose proactive obligations on employers to promote equality at the workplace. Proactive regimes are regulatory in nature, rather than adjudicatory. They induce employer compliance through technical assistance, dialogue and regulatory pressure, rather than court orders. By examining the key elements of these regimes the author explains why some proactive regimes function better than others, and why proactive regimes function better than complaint-based laws in addressing systemic discrimination.
Combatting Disability Harassment at Work
Persons with disabilities report high levels of harassment worldwide, often based on intersectional characteristics such as race, gender and age. However, while #MeToo and #BlackLivesMatter have highlighted ongoing experiences of sexual and racial harassment, disability harassment has received little attention. This book focuses on legal measures to combat disability harassment at work. It sets disability harassment in its international context, including its human rights framework, and confronts the lack of empirical information by evaluating the Irish legal framework in practice. It explores the capacity of the law to address intersectional harassment, particularly that faced by women with disabilities, and outlines the barriers to effective legal solutions.
Genetics, Disability and the Law
With genetic technologies advancing rapidly, Aisling de Paor examines the urgent need for an EU-level framework to regulate genetic information.
Micheline's Three Conditions
How was it possible for one woman, later joined by a handful of others, to overcome a large organisation and bring about a gender equality sea change in higher education in her country? This is the story of how the granddaughter of Ireland's most famous suffragette won a gender discrimination case for lack of promotion, the first such win in either Ireland or the UK; then donated her €70,000 award to five other women, also passed over in that promotion round, for their High Court case. It tells of the subsequent Micheline’s Three Conditions Campaign, a four-year epic struggle filled with twists and turns, to get the five women promoted. And then the final success. This is a fascinating and often funny account which will inspire others to take on injustice.

Employment Law
This practical guide to Irish employment law brings together the knowledge and expertise of Ireland's leading employment, tax and pensions law practitioners. In-depth and accessible, it gives a comprehensive and clear review of all aspects of employment and labour law. This is the second edition of Employment Law, which has been newly updated and revised to include the extensive changes to the law, including in relation to the workings of the Workplace Relations Commission, and new chapters on whistle blowing, health and safety, mediation, agency workers, restraint of trade and injunctions. These build on the book's established chapters on the wide ranging facets of employment law, such as t...
Charleton and McDermott's Criminal Law and Evidence
This second edition of what was in 1999 an acclaimed work, has been completely rewritten. In approaching this, the authors have considerably increased the analysis of the theoretical aspects of criminal law and strengthened citations of academic literature and comparative case law while keeping the narrative concise and focused for easy use by practitioners. Key benefits to readers include a complete overview of criminal law theory; a new series of chapters on the law of evidence as it applies in the fraught circumstances of a criminal trial; a much more analytical approach to the general part and to criminal defences; and the comprehensive coverage of all the major, and many minor, areas of indictable crime. Since the last edition, commentary and case law on sexual offences has proliferated as have legislative interventions; a completely new scheme for dealing with property offences was necessitated by a series of recent statutes; company law and competition offences have assumed a greater significance; and the range of offences covered has had to be increased in order to ensure a comprehensive coverage of this most sensitive and politically charged aspect of law.
