Ciarán Cuffe (Dún Laoghaire, Green Party)

It is a challenge to respond to the judgment of the European Court of Justice, but a balance must be struck. We do not want to see the courts being clogged by judicial review proceedings. How can we strike the right balance? This brings us back to the definition of pro bono publico, which means one is acting for the public interest. We must wait and see how this works in practice. I hope it will represent a suitable transposition of the directive which the Green Party wants to be implemented in a consistent, robust and democratic fashion.
