Editing Good Samaritan law (section)

===Ireland===
The Civil Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act of 2011<ref>{{cite Irish legislation |year=2011 |number=23 |section=4 |name=Civil Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2011 |stitle=Liability for negligence of good samaritans, volunteers and volunteer organisations |date=2 August 2011}}</ref> introduced legislation specifically addressing the liability of citizen good Samaritans or volunteers in the Republic of Ireland, without introducing a duty to intervene. This act provides for exemption from liability for a person, or voluntary organization, for anything done while providing "assistance, advice or care" to a person who is injured, in serious risk or danger of becoming injured or developing an illness (or apparently so). There are exclusions for cases of "bad faith" or "gross negligence" on behalf of the carer, and incidents relating to the negligent use of motor vehicles. This Act only addresses situations where there is no duty of care owed by the good Samaritan or the volunteer.

The pre-hospital emergency care council (PHECC) specifically addresses the good Samaritan section of the Civil Law Act of 2011 and states that "The use of skills and medications restricted to Registered Practitioners would be covered under the 'Good Samaritan' Act. This Act assumes that you had no intention to practice during this time and that you acted as a Good Samaritan, assisting until the Emergency Services arrive on scene and you can hand over."<ref>{{Cite web|title=Good Samaritan|url=https://www.phecit.ie/PHECC/The_Register/Registration_FAQs/Registration_FAQs.aspx|website=Pre-hospital emergency care council}}</ref>
