    Supreme Court Visit to NUI Galway 4-6 March, 2019 Welcoming the Supreme Court to NUI Galway 4-6 March, 2019 Table of Contents Welcome from the Head of School . 2 Te School of Law at NUI Galway . 4 Te Supreme Court of Ireland . 6 Te Judges of the Supreme Court . 8 2 Welcome from the Head of School We are greatly honoured to host the historic sittings of the Irish Supreme Court at NUI Galway this spring. Tis is the frst time that the Supreme Court will sit outside of a courthouse since the Four Courts reopened in 1932, the frst time the court sits in Galway, and only its third time to sit outside of Dublin. To mark the importance of this occasion, we are running a series of events on campus for the public and for our students. I would like to thank the Chief Justice and members of the Supreme Court for participating in these events and for giving their time so generously. Dr Charles O’Mahony, Head of School, NUI Galway We are particularly grateful for the Supreme Court’s willingness to engage with our students. As one of Ireland’s leading Law Schools, our key focus is on the development of both critical thinking and adaptability in our future legal professionals. Tis includes the ability to engage in depth with the new legal challenges arising from social change, and to analyse and apply the law to developing legal problems. Te Supreme Court’s participation in student seminars on a wide range of current legal issues is not only deeply exciting for our students, but ofers them an excellent opportunity to appreciate at frst hand the importance of rigorous legal analysis, and the balance between 3 necessary judicial creativity and maintaining the rule of law.

  • Independent Alliance
    Independent Alliance Breda Burke Committee on Procedure and Privileges Standing sub-Committee on Dail Reform Dail Eireann Leinster House Dublin 2 1 16 h March 2016 Dear Breda, As instructed, please now find below the submissions for Dail reform, as proposed by the members of the Independent Alliance. Dail Reform The Independent Alliance is committed to fundamental Dail Reform. We are seeking that power be decentralised. Following the election, we believe there is a unique opportunity to return power to the Dail and reduce the power of the government. We believe the following measures are imperative for true Dail reform; a. The Independent Alliance will not be imposing any party whip, except on votes of confidence. This automatically rebalances power in favour of the Dail, against the cabinet. We would welcome a reciprocal gesture from other parties. If this is not possible for them on all aspects of Dail votes, perhaps parties might commit to removing the whip for certain topics? b. We believe the Taoiseach's prerogative on when to call a general election can be abused and manipulated to suit the Taoiseach of the day and their party, as opposed to acting in the country's best interest. For that reason, we want to remove this unique power and create stability and certainty for the lifetime of a government, thus increasing the work rate. For that reason we propose that Ireland follow the example of many other countries and introduce fixed terms for the Dail. There would of course be provision for an impromptu election if the Taoiseach fails to retain the support or confidence of a majority of the Dail.

Just over two decades after homosexuality was decriminalised in Ireland, all the political parties represented in parliament and much of civil society came together to back marriage equality. But the campaign was led by a small group of gay and lesbian activists and the most powerful arguments for change came in the form of personal testimonies of individual gay men and lesbians.

  • The Independent Bar of Northern Ireland – Past and Present1
    The independent Bar of Northern Ireland – Past and Present1 Sir Anthony Hart It is a pleasure and a privilege to have been invited to speak to the Wales & Chester Circuit about the Northern Ireland Bar. It was suggested that I might say something about the nature of practice in Northern Ireland, but before doing so I would like to say a little about the history of the Northern Ireland Bar because that has had a great bearing on the way we operate. I say ‘we’ because I was called to the Northern Ireland Bar in September 1969, and although I was called to the Bar by Gray’s Inn in 1975, practised exclusively in Northern Ireland before I became a county court judge in 1985. So for the greater part of my professional life my experience has been of observing the Northern Ireland Bar in action as a practitioner and as a judge. Northern Ireland is the smallest part of the United Kingdom, covering 5,356 square miles with a population of 1.682 million, compared to Wales which covers an area of 8,030 square miles and a population of just under 3.1 million people.2 The Northern Ireland Bar is the smallest, and notionally the youngest, of the three independent Bars that form part of the legal system of the United Kingdom. Although it came into existence as a separate Bar in October 1921 when the provisions of the Government of Ireland Act of 1920 relating to the judicial system of the new Northern Ireland came into force, it sprang from the pre-partition Irish Bar, and to the present day reflects some of the unique characteristics of the Irish Bar as it was before 1921.
