Guide only — this matter needs a solicitor. Under Irish law this work must be carried out by a solicitor, so it is not sold on this site. The information below explains what is involved so you can brief a solicitor with confidence.
OnlineLegalServices.ie is operated by Plus Promotions Limited, which is not a solicitor’s practice and does not give legal advice. To instruct a regulated practice, use the Law Society of Ireland’s Find a Solicitor directory.
An AI Act readiness review in Ireland helps organisations understand how the EU Artificial Intelligence Act may apply to AI systems they build or use, alongside their GDPR obligations. It is professionally drafted and Ireland-specific, aligned to the Data Protection Act 2018 and the EU GDPR, and suitable for SMEs, data protection leads, HR managers and small business owners, without open-ended hourly billing. This service is not a substitute for a full Data Protection Officer appointment in regulated sectors; for complex investigations or high-risk processing, contact us for a tailored quote.

Frequently asked questions
How much does an AI Act readiness review cost?
This page is a free guide — nothing on it is for sale. Solicitors set their own fees for this work and must give you a written costs estimate (a section 150 letter) before starting. Get quotes through the Law Society of Ireland’s Find a Solicitor directory.
Does the EU AI Act apply to my business?
It can apply to providers and deployers of AI systems, with obligations depending on the risk category and phased in over time.
How does the AI Act relate to GDPR?
Where AI processes personal data, GDPR continues to apply alongside the AI Act.
For more on GDPR and data protection, see our GDPR & Data Protection in Ireland guides and services.
