This document discusses the work of the Irish Copyright Review Committee (CRC). It provides background information on the establishment of the CRC in 2011 and its terms of reference. The document then outlines the CRC's process, which included public meetings, submissions, an interim report in 2012, and a final report in 2013. The document shares some of the CRC's recommendations related to exceptions and limitations for education, disability access, and heritage/cultural institutions. Overall, it provides a high-level overview of the CRC's work reviewing Irish copyright law and recommending reforms.
