No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/ie_law_get for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

Fetch one Irish Act by year and number (e.g. year 2018, number 7 for the Data Protection Act 2018). Returns title, citation, long title, date, the list of sections and schedules, and whether a consolidated Revised Act exists and how current it is. Pass section (e.g. “10”, “10A” or “schedule 2”) for that provision’s text. Text is as enacted by the Oireachtas; later amendments are not applied, so in_force is true only where a Revised Act exists (the Act is then in force at least in part) and otherwise unknown (null).

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`year`	number	yes	Year of the Act, e.g. 2018
`number`	number	yes	Act number in that year, e.g. 7
`section`	string	no	Section number, e.g. “10” or “10A”, or “schedule 2”
