===Ireland=== [[Law of the Republic of Ireland]] evolved from [[English law]], the greatest point of difference being the existence of the [[Constitution of Ireland]] as a single document. The unofficial "popular edition" of the Constitution is regularly updated to take account of [[Amendments to the Constitution of Ireland|amendments to it]], while the official text enrolled in the [[Supreme Court of Ireland|Supreme Court]] in 1938 has been replaced five times: in 1942, 1980, 1989, 1999, and 2019.<ref name="sc2020">{{cite book |author1=Supreme Court of Ireland |title=Annual Report 2019 |date=2020 |location=Dublin |pages=50β52 |url=http://www.supremecourt.ie/supremecourt/sclibrary3.nsf/(WebFiles)/3E96211DAA2B6F1C8025851A0035EF6C/$FILE/SupremeCourt_AnnualReport_2019_Online_LoRes.pdf#page=52 |access-date=13 August 2022 |chapter=Sixth enrolment of the Constitution}}</ref> As in England, subordinate laws are not officially codified, although [[consolidation bill]]s have restated the law in many areas. Since 2006 the [[Law Reform Commission (Ireland)|Law Reform Commission]] (LRC) has published semi-official "revised" editions of [[Acts of the Oireachtas]] taking account of textual and other amendments to the original version.<ref name="lrc-ie">{{cite web |title=Revised Acts |url=https://revisedacts.lawreform.ie/revacts/intro |publisher=Law Reform Commission |location=Dublin |access-date=23 August 2022}}</ref> The [[Finance Act]]s are excluded from the LRC programme.<ref name="lrc-ie"/> Private companies produce unofficial consolidated versions of these and other commercially important pre-2005 laws. An official advisory committee between 2006 and 2010 produced a Draft Criminal Code.<ref>{{multiref| {{cite book |author1=Criminal Law Codification Advisory Committee |title=Draft Criminal Code and Commentary |url=https://www.gov.ie/en/publication/d4fa7-draft-criminal-code-and-commentary/ |publisher=Stationery Office |location=Dublin |access-date=2 September 2022 |date=20 September 2013 |orig-year=2010 |isbn=978-1-4064-2783-7 }}| {{cite web |title=Latest News |url=http://www.criminalcode.ie/website/CLCAC/clcac.nsf/page/news-en |website=Official website |publisher=Criminal Law Codification Advisory Committee |access-date=2 September 2022 |language=en}} }} </ref>
