</p><p>At this historic juncture for Ireland, in our relationship with both the United Kingdom and the European Union, it is particularly important that we consider the impact of the Common Law system on how laws are made, and on wider society. Our relationship with the jurisdiction in Northern Ireland is also relevant, as is how the Common Law may evolve through a more continental European Union post-Brexit.</p><p>All welcome.
