	Brehon Laws - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Brehon Laws were statutes that governed everyday life and politics in the Ireland until the Norman invasion of 1171.
		The rights of women were protected, divorce was provided for, the duties of parents towards adopted children were outlined, and a frame work was provided for the operation of government.
		Due to this, the Brehon Laws would never be readopted on an official basis, although some modernized concepts survive in the laws of the Republic of Ireland.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Brehon Laws
		Brehon law is the usual term for Irish native law, as administered in Ireland down to almost the middle of the seventeenth century, and in fact amongst the native Irish until the final consummation of the English conquest.
		It is true that Brehon law does bear certain resemblances to Roman law, but they are of the slightest, and not even so strong as its resemblance to the Hindoo codes.
		When a Brehon had heard a case and delivered his judgment, there was no machinery of law set in motion to force the litigant to accept it.
