Statute Law Revision Act 2015

The Statute Law Revision Act 2015 is a Statute Law Revision Act enacted by the Oireachtas in Ireland to review secondary legislation (mainly proclamations and orders) passed from 1066 to 1820. The Act revoked a large number of pieces of secondary legislation of Ireland, England, Great Britain and the United Kingdom while preserving a shorter list of instruments that were deemed suitable for retention.[1]

The Act is part of the Statute Law Revision Programme which has also seen the enactment of statute law revision legislation between 2005 and 2016.[2] The Act also amended the Statutory Instruments Act 1947 to remove most exemptions from the requirement to publish statutory instruments.[3]

Scope

The Act preserved a total of 43 pre-1821 instruments, while revoking 5,782 explicitly and around 7,000 implicitly.[4]
