Thank you very much Awash. Kind of difficult to see how that case could be examined on the paper (apart from in the case note question). I could be vert wrong though. I found today's seminar quite confusing. Anybody have predictions based on today.

I would love a question on interpretation, Pres/AG, SOP and a nice FOE/Property right type question.

my predictions are definitely property
family
liberty
equality
AG
non- justicability
standing

i think for interpretation/AG/Pres it will be one or the other or the AG and possible case note on the bacik case

Does anybody have any way to synopsise this case when it comes to the Family and Article 41. I don't really get the point of it/see it's significance. I don't even know where I could slot it into my notes on Family. Today's seminar really through me!! Panicking at this point!!

I wonder could Gorry come up as an essay to ask about the family and Article 41 in some way.

also showed a sort of thinking of moving away from the traditional concept of marriage - although it did not expressly rule on that point

clarified that there is no automatic constitutional right of co habitation

Hey, I am preparing the following for EU
Direct effect and MS liability
Institutions
Judicial Review
Competition Law
General Principles.

Could I get away with only doing FMOG or FMOW not both? I feel like there is too much work in FMOW. Or does anyone know how to narrow down the content for FMOW/Citizenship

I'm preparing Sources, General principles as back ups, Direct and Indirect Effect with MS liability as usually together, Judicial review, Citizenship - with a special focus on TCN focused - FMOW also as these can be mixed in a question, FMOG and services as FMOG has come up with services before but can be separate too.

Good luck to everyone sitting Criminal Law tomorrow!

This will (hopefully) be my last sitting of these exams if I can manage to plough through 5 at once. Fingers crossed for us all that it's a kind paper tomorrow morning.

Same, 3 this week and 2 next week. Realistically feel I won't be passing very many, but I'm at the stage of burnt out that I really just don't care anymore.

Good luck to all!

Can't believe I have to turn around after criminal tomorrow and somehow magically learn all my constitutional notes, and also research/add in what he said today - losing the will to live.

B vs Director of Oberstown - am I right in saying that the child was denied remission on the basis that he didn't satisfy a breach in Article 40.1 because he wasn't comparing like with like? My understanding is that he is comparing a child procedure with an adult procedure, as opposed to a child with a child. Should you talk about how age discrimination isn't presumptively invalid and it is on the applicant to prove it is arbitrary or unfair?

The first part is right, I dont think age discrimination came into it though, my understanding of the case was that it had to do with the fact that the child school gave consessions earlier on such as day passes etc which were not enjoyed by the adult prisoners. I didn't see anything about age but I am open to correction as I don't want to be wrong in the exam!!

He was arguing for enhanced remission on the basis of Byrne v Director of Oberstown and argued that it was a breach of equality that an adult was entitled to enhanced remission and a child wasn’t. The court found no breach of the article due to the fact that there was a legitimate reason why there is a difference in treatment between an adult detainee and a child detainee

Would anybody have a decent summary of Bacik case?

Law101

EU

anyone hazard a guess which essays will come up? I'm hoping fundamental rights not Charter, that came up November and essay on Art 263 AG Jacobs on UPA because equivalence essay came up November too. Any thoughts?

Best of luck, HS. You've definitely put your time in. Your posts stick out clearer to me as a fellow Hobbes.

Bacik and Ors were challenging the refusal of the Taoiseach to call a sitting of the Seanad as certain legislation was due to expire - Varadkar was the interim taoiseach and as such argued that as no Taoiseach had been duly elected could not fulfil the obligations set out in Articles 18.3, 18.8, 18.10.2.
Court agreed and took a literal interpretation of the Constitution - Seanad has 60 members - clear and unambiguous provision. This set a new test for constitutional interpretation. It was held that the starting point is to consider the literal words used and having determined this, it will be necessary next to consider the provision in the context of the constitution as a whole.
In the event of ambiguity or in the event that there is a conflict with other provisions of the constitution - necessary to seek a harmonious interpretation.

can anyone give me any clarity in what cases to discuss regarding non justiciability?

His examiner report from March 2020, albeit brief, shows you what he is looking for if an essay like that came up again. It was a quote from the Kerins case, so it and O'Brien are 2 cases that show the courts will intervene (in extreme cases) in an area that traditionally would be seen to be non-justiciable. Then he said that people also discussed socio-economic cases where the courts have been hands-off- I'm thinking Sinnott, TD, etc here.

I know Carolan is very hard to predict but I don't know if a full essay would be dedicated to Justiciability again?

gonna be a long day of cramming constitutional ahhh
