From what I gather from the conversation about immunity from legal proceedings on Committee Stage, a person who wants to take a case for political purposes in the Irish Supreme Court will not be allowed to advance the case. That is a good thing because we have seen people take cases to the Supreme Court for political purposes and the taxpayer ends up paying for it. During the fiscal stability treaty referendum campaign, the day before the moratorium, another court case was brought to the Supreme Court for political purposes, for more coverage that cost the taxpayer.
