The advice of the Office of the Attorney General is that the judgement in this case relates solely to the Animal Remedies Act 1993. Whether the judgement has implications for other legislation is under review by the Attorney General. However, the case has no implications for the European Communities Act 1972 and regulations made thereunder or the European Communities Bill 2006, now in the Houses of the Oireachtas.
