Hi there! Thanks for reading Ireland's Internet Law is 20 years old, its time to update it. If you haven't read it yet, read it! The legal system is complex and there is a lot of work to be done - but a simple click in support of reviewing and updating our legislation is a valuable step towards improving it for everyone. Click "Sign Petition" on the right to help bring the benefit of technology to more legal documents and processes, and make law faster, more secure, and more efficient for everyone.

Support the call to the Minister for Justice to review and amend the Electronic Commerce Act 2000, and allow more documents avail of the benefits of technology.

Updates

July 11, 2020

The Electronic Commerce Act is two decades behind current digital reality and we are pushing the Minister for Justice to acknowledge that. Contact your local TD today to tell them that our legal processes need to move into the modern era. Post this link on your social media channels to keep the pressure on.

July 11, 2020

The momentum behind this call for law reform is clear. Now is the time to turn that energy into action by emailing your local representative to demand a review of the Electronic Commerce Act. Post the petition link on Facebook and text three friends to get them involved today.
