  • Reconciling Ireland's Bail Laws with Traditional Irish Constitutional Values
    Reconciling Ireland's Bail Laws with Traditional Irish Constitutional Values Kate Doran Thesis Offered for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Law Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences University of Limerick Supervisor: Prof. Paul McCutcheon Submitted to the University of Limerick, November 2014 Abstract Title: Reconciling Ireland’s Bail Laws with Traditional Irish Constitutional Values Author: Kate Doran Bail is a device which provides for the pre-trial release of a criminal defendant after security has been taken for the defendant’s future appearance at trial. Ireland has traditionally adopted a liberal approach to bail. For example, in The People (Attorney General) v O’Callaghan (1966), the Supreme Court declared that the sole purpose of bail was to secure the attendance of the accused at trial and that the refusal of bail on preventative detention grounds amounted to a denial of the presumption of innocence. Accordingly, it would be unconstitutional to deny bail to an accused person as a means of preventing him from committing further offences while awaiting trial. This purist approach to the right to bail came under severe pressure in the mid-1990s from police, prosecutorial and political forces which, in turn, was a response to a media generated panic over the perceived increase over the threat posed by organised crime and an associated growth in ‘bail banditry’. A constitutional amendment effectively neutralising the effects of the O'Callaghan jurisprudence was adopted in 1996. This was swiftly followed by the Bail Act 1997 which introduced the concept of preventative detention (in the bail context) into Irish law.

  • Thirty Years of Law Reform 1975-2005
    Thirty Years of Law Reform 1975-2005 delivered by Ronan Keane Former Chief Justice and Former President of the Law Reform Commission To Mark the Thirtieth Anniversary of the Law Reform Commission At Farmleigh House, Phoenix Park, Dublin 23 June 2005 1 Thirty Years of Law Reform 1975-2005 Introduction: of the Code Civil and Law Commissions Two years ago in a great amphitheatre in the Sorbonne the two hundredth anniversary of the Code Civil, the instrument embodying the civil law of France, was celebrated with characteristic Gallic style and elegance. The heroes of the occasion were the great jurists - led by Portalis - who were associated with the birth and development of the code, but those present were of course reminded that its creation is also forever linked with Napoleon, then the First Consul and after whom it is frequently called. He would surely have been surprised by this glowing tribute to his greatness as a law reformer paid by Lord Brougham in the House of Lords a mere thirteen years after he had been defeated at Waterloo: “You saw the greatest warrior of the age – the conqueror of Italy – the humbler of Germany – the terror of the North – account all his matchless victories poor compared with the triumph you are now in a condition to win – saw him condemn the fickleness of fortune while, in despite of her, he could pronounce his memorable boast, ‘I shall go down to posterity with the Code in my hand.’ You have vanquished him in the field; strive now to rival him in the sacred arts of peace! Outstrip him as a lawgiver, whom in arms you overcame!” This rhetorical tour de force came towards the end of an oration which even by the standards of the time must have sorely taxed its audience, lasting as it did for over six hours.
