Abstract
This article charts the trajectory of Irish labour law from 2007, at the point at which
the economic, political and social crisis that has engulfed Europe and much of the
Western world for much of the past decade, began to manifest, through the years of
“austerity” and the European Union-International Monetary Fund (EU-IMF)
programme of financial assistance. The article reflects on the position now, as
Ireland, and Europe, slowly emerges from austerity. It looks at the future labour law
agendas that might be forged in Ireland, within the context of developments in EU
law. The article looks, first, at the features of the Irish labour law model (from the
perspective of individual and collective rights) that had developed, when the global
economic recession hit in 2007, traces the changes that occurred during the “crisis
years” until 2014, and looks at a series of recent legislative and policy developments
that have taken root in 2015. The developments in Ireland, in terms of the
development of (individual and collective) labour law protections, and the
enforcement and vindication of worker rights, are set in the context of European
Union level developments relating to worker rights, socio-economic governance, and
employment standard-setting.
