Statute Of Limitations In Ireland

The Statute of Limitations, 1957 and the Statute of Limitations (Amendment) Act, 1991 imposes a limit on the right of action so that after a prescribed period any action will be time barred. A list of cause of actions effected are listed under part two of the Statute of Limitations 1957.

The statute of limitations in the Republic of Ireland depends on the type of legal case and also who is taking the case (the rules are sometimes different for children). The time period usually starts from the date of knowledge of the potential cause of action.

    Now a Jew, in the dictionary, is one who is descended from the ancient tribes of Judea, or one who is regarded as descended from that tribe. That’s what it says in the dictionary; but you and I know what a Jew is—One Who Killed Our Lord.... And although there should be a statute of limitations for that crime, it seems that those who neither have the actions nor the gait of Christians, pagan or not, will bust us out, unrelenting dues, for another deuce.
    Lenny Bruce (1925–1966)

    The limitations of pleasure cannot be overcome by more pleasure.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    No people can more exactly interpret the inmost meaning of the present situation in Ireland than the American Negro. The scheme is simple. You knock a man down and then have him arrested for assault. You kill a man and then hang the corpse.
    —W.E.B. (William Edward Burghardt)
