Martin Cullen (Waterford, Fianna Fail)

If we declare open season for people to try to appeal High Court decisions to the Supreme Court, it is reasonable that we should ensure there are reasonable grounds for the appeal. We should not have an open season that automatically allows everything decided on in the High Court to be sent to the Supreme Court. Such an approach would cause the entire system to become clogged up and we would never get anywhere.
