Four Courts, Court 9, 10:30am Ms. Justice Macken is due to decide today on costs arising from Eoin Dubsky's failed legal challenge to US military refueling in Ireland. On December 13th she returned the High Court's judgement, denying that a "war" is an "armed conflict", and thus Ireland cannot be said to be "participating in war". Furthermore it is sufficient for the government to make Government policy verbally, never writing down what exactly it is they have decided to do. Ireland, it appears, may partake in armed conflicts without even the assent of Dail Eireann. |

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5Best of luck today Eoin. Hope it goes well.
I suppose that's what happens when one uses one of the world's foremost experts on intellectual patenting to get an answer that the State can stomach.
Eoin in order to present his case was forced by the judge to define war relative to and using the Irish constitution. Of course our patenting expert was able to tear this definition apart and insist that it was not what was happening in Afghanistan.
Case Closed.
Come back later and we'll give you the bill.
Next.

... so nothing has been decided
