Minority Religions under Irish Law
Islam in National and International Context
Series: - Muslim Minorities, Volume: 31
Editor:
Minority Religions under Irish Law focuses the spotlight specifically on the legal protections afforded in Ireland to minority religions, generally, and to the Muslim community, in particular. Although predominantly focused on the Irish context, the book also boasts contributions from leading international academics, considering questions of broader global importance such as how to create an inclusive environment for minority religions and how to regulate religious tribunals best. Reflecting on issues as diverse as the right to education, marriage recognition, Islamic finance and employment equality, Minority Religions under Irish Law provides a comprehensive and fresh look at the legal space occupied by many rapidly growing minority religions in Ireland, with a special focus on the Muslim community.
Kathryn OâSullivan, Ph.D. (2013) is a lecturer at the School of Law, University of Limerick, Ireland. She has published in leading national and international journals including in Legal Studies and in the International Journal of Law, Policy and the Family.
