More repairable devices
The direction of the law pushes manufacturers toward products that can be opened, diagnosed and fixed rather than replaced.
Right to Repair Ireland
Right to Repair in Ireland: what it means for you.
The law across the EU, including Ireland, is moving to make devices easier and more affordable to repair. In plain terms, it is about keeping the choice to repair in your hands. Here is what that direction means for the device in your pocket.
The direction is clear: repair should be a real choice.
The EU Right to Repair Directive (2024/1799) points European law toward more repairable products, better access to spare parts, and devices that are built to last and to be fixed. Ireland sits within that direction. The detail will keep developing, but the destination is a market where repair is genuinely available to you.
What it means for you
Better access to parts
Spare parts and repair information becoming more available means more faults can be fixed properly, for longer.
The choice stays yours
You decide where and how your device is repaired, including choosing an independent repairer rather than defaulting to replacement.
Devices that last
Repairable devices kept in service longer mean less waste and more value from what you already own.
Where independent repair fits in
Independent repairers are a central part of how repair stays a real choice. ExpressTech is an independent repair specialist by choice: we keep devices in service, fit quality parts, and put the decision in your hands. We support the principle behind Right to Repair through how we work every day. We are not an officially appointed, authorised or certified body under the legislation, and nothing on this page is legal advice. It is a plain-English explanation of where the law is heading and what it means for you.
Questions about Right to Repair
What is the Right to Repair?
It is the principle, increasingly reflected in EU and Irish law, that products should be designed and supported so they can be repaired rather than thrown away. The EU Right to Repair Directive (2024/1799) is the main piece of law pointing in that direction.
Does Right to Repair apply in Ireland?
Ireland sits within the EU framework that is moving in this direction. The detail continues to develop, but the destination is a market where repair is genuinely available and a real choice for you.
