Listen "ARINS Podcast 46: A Review of Employment Law in Ireland, North and South"
Episode Synopsis
In this month’s ARINS podcast, host Rory Montgomery discusses the recent Irish Studies in International Affairs article, A Review of Employment Law in Ireland, North and South, with its authors Esther McGuinness (Ulster University), Desmond Ryan (Trinity College Dublin) and Rory O'Connell(Ulster University).
The article explores the evolution and current state of employment law across the two jurisdictions on the island of Ireland, a century after the 1920 Government of Ireland Act. It examines how partition and constitutional changes have affected shared legal origins and analyses collective and individual labour law, including health and safety, through the lens of historical and contemporary influences, such as Brexit and the Windsor Framework.
The article is available open access, as are all ARINS publications, and can be read here:
