Money Laundering in Ireland: Context, History and the Law breaks down the development of money laundering laws and how they work in practice. This book explains how developments at the international, European, and Irish levels have evolved Irish law to tackle financial and organised crime.

Money Laundering in Ireland focuses on the three key aims of anti-money laundering (AML) efforts: protecting legitimate businesses and financial systems from being exploited by criminals, criminalising money laundering, and seizing the proceeds of crime. With clear explanations setting out the current legislation and case law, it shows how these goals shape laws and enforcement.
