Today’s Sunday Independent has an article by Michael McDowell headed “Dail gender law unconstitutional”.
McDowell was leader of the Progressive Democrats. He was also Minister for Justice (2002-7) & Attorney General. He’s now a “senior counsel”.
His view is important. It will be necessary to examine his view in detail in future blogposts.
It is a bit suspicious that such a high-powered lawyer doesn’t quote the Irish Constitution in his article. He makes no reference to any particular clause or sub-section to support his case.
I wonder why?
