   • 1996, Raymond Byrne, J. Paul McCutcheon, The Irish legal system, page 291:

     This may be contrasted with the position in the United States where, following the decision of the Supreme Court in Miranda v Arizona 384 US 436 (1964). the police are obliged to inform an arrested person of his right to legal counsel during police questioning. Failure to 'Mirandise' an arrested person renders inadmissible in evidence any statement or confession made during police questioning.
