Yes. As an EU participant in the eIDAS framework, Ireland recognises electronic signatures, and a qualified electronic signature (QES) has the same legal effect as a handwritten one. Ireland's qualified providers are published on its national trusted list, which is indexed by the EU List of Trusted Lists.
Who publishes Ireland's trusted list?
Ireland's trusted list is published under the supervision of Department of Culture, Communications and Sport and referenced by the EU List of Trusted Lists.
How do I validate a Ireland electronic signature?
Check the signature against Ireland's national trusted list (via the EU LOTL): verify integrity, build the certificate chain, check revocation and any timestamp, and read the eIDAS level. Sealium does all of this in one /v1/validate API call and returns a structured report.
