This text provides a comprehensive, practitioner-focused analysis of the law of negligence in Ireland, with comparative relevance to England and Wales. It begins by examining the foundational elements of negligence, including duty of care, standard of care, breach, causation, remoteness, defences, and damages, grounding each topic in Irish case law while situating it within broader common law developments. Building on these core principles, the book addresses complex and evolving areas of negligence law, including economic loss, psychiatric harm, contributory negligence, statutory negligence, and strict or absolute liability. It examines how negligence interacts with statutory duties, constitutional and human rights norms, and regulatory regimes, with particular attention to environmental damage, data protection, and state liability. Detailed consideration is given to procedural and remedial issues, such as burden and standard of proof, limitation periods, apportionment of liability between concurrent wrongdoers, and the full range of damages available in negligence claims, as well as the growing role of settlement and alternative dispute resolution. The later sections adopt a forward-looking and comparative perspective, analysing negligence in emerging and high-risk contexts. The book also explores the boundaries between civil and criminal negligence, including gross negligence manslaughter, and considers negligence within governmental schemes and public policy frameworks. Overall, the book is designed to function both as an authoritative reference for practitioners and institutions and as a structured, practice-oriented resource for students and trainees.
