If you're interested, put "Bosman" into the research page of the EU Court of Justice library to see the amount of material available.
To focus this topic on the Irish situation, you could analyse the implications of Bosman for part-time footballers such as those commonly involved in Irish domestic football.
As far as timelines are concerned, as the Bosman ruling was in late-1995, any academic material is going to be fairly current, in any event.
Let me know if I can be of any more help. If your deadline permits, I could search to see if I have material on Bosman here at home.
