restriction
of
entitlement to equal pay

or
E.E.
11/1989, FAS v Vavasour, where the discriminatory effects
of
past
rules
on
women seeking access to training opportunities were
in
issue. However, notwithstanding these 'missed opportunities', it
seems that, although far from perfect, the Irish legislation has been
interpreted
in
a constructive and sympathetic fashion by the tribunals
charged with adjudicating on employment equality disputes. The
authors also point out that the Employment Equality Agency, set up
under the 1977
Act
and vested with a supervisory role
in
relation to
the 1974 and 1977 Acts, has been as dynamic as it can be, especially
in light
of
persistent underfunding problems.
When read
in
conjunction with its companion volumes, Cal-
lender and Meehan's book will be an invaluable resource to those
throughout the
EU
and beyond who wish to gain an overview
on
equality law developments in this region. The book also stands up in
its own right as a useful contribution to scholarship
in
this field
which should be
of
particular interest to public servants, legal practi-
tioners, scholars and officials, trade unionists, and activists
in
Ireland
and Britain. Leo Flynn

Pb. £19.95.
The second edition
of
this useful work comes not before time. Since
the first edition
in
1986 there have been major legislative and rule
changes, not to mention a considerable amount
of
new case law. The
new edition takes account
of
these changes including the new Immig-
ration Rules which came into force
on
1 October 1994.
It
is aimed
at informing advisors
of
the kinds
of
immigration emergencies that
demand immediate action to prevent the removal, denial
of
entry and
detention
of
clients; the steps that need to be taken to manage them
successfully; and, where appropriate, the advice that should be given
to avoid them.
Its language is easily accessible to those who are not familiar
with immigration law and its contents are arranged in a logical and
user-friendly format.
In
focusing
on
emergencies the book is not
primarily concerned with substantive immigration law and, at a
