This timely edited collection brings together experts in the fields
of legal history, criminal justice, human rights and
counter-terrorism law to appraise Ireland's Offences Against the
State Act on the eightieth anniversary of its enactment. The
origins, development, invocation and extension of the powers
contained in the legislation are analysed and critiqued using a
broad range of methodologies. The book engages fully with the 1939
Act's scope and complexity including consideration of the impact of
the Act on issues as diverse as trial by jury, paramilitary
organisations, organised crime, disclosure, the rules of evidence,
freedom of expression and association, parliamentary oversight of
legislation and adherence to international human rights norms. In
addition, the interplay of the Act with the universal themes of
normalcy, exceptionalism, contagion and due process are explored
throughout. This book will appeal to an audience beyond those with
a particular interest in the Act itself. It combines historical and
contemporary insights with theoretical and practical perspectives
that will enrich the reader's understanding of emergency law,
wherever it arises.
