Report on Ireland from the EU-funded "EmpRise" project on the right to silence in police interrogations. This report focuses on the research findings in the Irish context. Legal analysis of the relevant legislation and case law that applied in Ireland was conducted. The empirical phase of the research in Ireland consisted of 2 focus groups with 19 criminal defence solicitors and interviews with 10 barristers, 11 staff from the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, 4 judges (covering the Circuit Criminal Court, the Central Criminal Court and the Special Criminal Court), and 6 recently retired members of An Garda Síochána (AGS). Through these focus groups and interviews with 50 professional actors across various roles within the Irish criminal process this study has garnered previously unrecorded insights into the operation of the right to silence and the perceptions of those who frequently encounter it within their roles.
