IRLII (Irish Legal Information Initiative), hosted by UCC School of Law, is the Irish hub of the global Free Access to Law Movement (FALM). FALM is committed to ensuring that legal decisions are made available to all, on a non-profit basis and free of charge, to remove any barriers of status, income or location and to promote justice, equality, inclusion and the rule of law.

IRLII was established to contribute to the British and Irish Legal Information Institute (BAILII). IRLII is intended to complement, rather than compete with, BAILII. Apart from providing BAILLI with Irish content, IRLII also offers a number of unique services.

We are grateful for the kind sponsorship and support provided by the School of Law at University College Cork (UCC) and by the Arthur Cox Foundation.
