Digital Rights Ireland

Digital Rights Ireland is dedicated to defending Civil, Human and Legal rights in a digital age. We are a small, focused organization.

We are bringing a constitutional challenge against the Irish government in relation to their policy of retaining internet and telephone records on the entire population. This case has a major European dimension and we have already achieved a landmark victory before the European Court of Justice. The Irish Human Rights Commission appears as an amicus.Digital Rights Ireland itself sought leave to intervene as an amicus in relation to attempts by international record labels to block IP addresses of certain file sharing websites.
