The outcome of the process is that Irish law, the legal ambiance here and the jurisprudence of our courts at both constitutional and sub-constitutional levels will now be such as to give both the courts and the citizens who appear before them new guarantees that the corpus of law reflected in Strasbourg jurisprudence is not just something out there to be accessed as a court of final appeal but has been brought "holus-bolus" into the Irish legal system. Almost like genetic modification, it has been brought into the system so that every cell, every legal decision will now be informed by the principles of the convention as indeed they should.
