What's different about an MOU in Ireland
The subject-to-contract convention is respected in Ireland much as in England, so a clear Non-Binding Nature clause in an MOU is likely to be honored as written. Ireland's particular advantage for EU-facing deals is being the EU's only English-speaking common law jurisdiction, meaning Irish jurisdiction clauses and judgments enjoy automatic recognition across the EU that a UK choice no longer does post-Brexit.
