For example, is there a ‘laws dot gov’ kinda URL I can go to and type “importing raccoons to Northern Ireland to create a self-sustaining population” into the search bar?
Or maybe something like a multi-volume book series I can check at the library to see if “raccoon husbandry; N. Ireland” is mentioned?
Maybe an AI chatbot on the local council’s website that I can ask “is it legal to raise baby raccoons by feeding them from miniature wheelie bins to teach them where food comes from and how to open the lids”?
I’m not about to do anything [potentially] illegal, I’m just curious.

Certainly, most civilized countries offer this, eg in Germany: recht.bund.de or dejure.org. You can also find it on Amazon Netherlands: Je vindt het Nederlandse wetboek en alle actuele wet- en regelgeving gratis en officieel online op
wetten.overheid.n
For Germany, there’s also https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/index.html which lists the laws in their current version, similar to dejure, but well, the webpage is actually hosted by our government. It’s as official as you’re gonna get on the internet.
