The ICCL Know Your Rights public information project is designed to inform people in clear and accessible language about their rights under various key areas of the law in Ireland.

May 2010 is Know Your Rights Month! As part of Know Your Rights Month, on 19 May 2010 the ICCL kicked off the first of its Know Your Rights Roadshows to facilitate those working in information provision and advice-giving roles in using the ICCL's Know Your Rights packs in their work.
