Islamic Mortgage-Alternatives in Ireland: A Comparative Reflection on a Decade of Consumer Appetite in the Face of Legislative Uncertainty

Published in the Conveyancer and Property Lawyer ((2020) 4), Dr Edana Richardson (Maynooth University) and banking partner Simon O’ Neill’s paper provides a comparative analysis of the accommodation of Islamic mortgage-alternatives under Irish law. It draws on findings from two surveys of Ireland’s Muslim community and uses a comparative approach with the UK to highlight continuing gaps in the legal framework relevant to Ireland’s Islamic finance market.
