Ms Blinne Ní Ghrálaigh:

I might have to reflect on that question somewhat but certainly, there have been cases taken to the CJEU where Ireland has acted, and the CJEU has determined that Ireland has or has not complied with international law. That is the point of the courts. The courts are there to be able to determine and assess whether state action is compliant with international law. There is no need to shy away from that, particularly where there is such a significant benefit to be gained from Ireland passing this legislation.
