Social Welfare Law in Ireland A GUIDE TO ITS SOURCES by Gerry Why te The Irish Social Welfare Code ap- pears to be vast and intractable, being contained in a principal Act of over 300 sections, together with 10 amending Acts and more than 200 statutory instruments. This publication is offered as a guide to the sources of that code; its objective is not to explain the law, but rather to help readers locate it. Using the index the reader will be able to discover the statutory provisions and statutory instruments relating to any specific query. The publication also con- tains a Table of Amendments to the Social Welfare (Consolidation) Act 1981 and a list of all Social Welfare Statutory Instruments cur- rently in force. This book will be an invaluable guide to lawyers, both practitioners and academics; to government of- ficials; to social workers, legislators, trade unionists and all voluntary groups. The author lectures in Social Welfare Law in Trinity College Dublin. He is also a consultant in Social Welfare for the Incorporated Law Society's professional course. He is a barrister and co-author of Irish Trade Union Law and acts in an advisory capacity for a number i of voluntary groups on social welfare matters. Published by Round Hall Press, Blackrock, Co. Dublin. £9.95.
