By a 4-3 majority the Supreme Court has found in favour of Seanad Éireann and the Select Committee on Members’ Interests of Seanad Éireann.
We are happy that the law has been clarified in respect of a difficult issue. Seanad Eireann and the Select Committee on Members’ Interests of Seanad Éireann will now be taking legal advice from the Parliamentary Legal Advisor and Counsel on the implications of the detailed judgements.
Ends.
