Helen McEntee (Meath East, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

My understanding is that there are a small number of cases that this could be applied to but, again, case law suggests that would perhaps not be successful. The advice is despite the fact there are a small number of cases where this has been applied, there is a strong reason to move forward with this specifically. There are a small number of cases. That is not to say a case would not be taken but the very clear advice is that there is case law on this, and that is supported by the ECHR as well.
