Ireland has been given two months to implement separate EU laws on hate speech, cyber security, and cross-border arrests or face being hauled before the European Court of Justice.

In addition to legal action on these three EU laws, the European Commission has also started formal proceedings against Ireland for failing to correctly transpose a directive on landfills.
