My good friend Conor Crummey has a fantastic new paper (forthcoming in the IJSJ) entitled 'Unconstitutional Evictions'. It explores the moral underpinnings of Art. 40.5, and argues for a robust application of it in private eviction disputes. Read here: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.…

It was a privilege to be invited to give evidence before the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Assisted Dying this morning, alongside Dr Louise Campbell. I discussed how the courts have approached issues in end of life decision making, as well as consent and decision-making capacity.

I'll be speaking at this excellent conference tomorrow, discussing recent developments in housing law. In particular, I'll be talking about the impact of the Clare County Council v McDonagh judgment in lower courts.

While most eyes have been diverted down the corridor at the Burke trial, the Supreme Court delivered this morning a very significant (and very surprising) judgment, holding that the limitation of the Seanad franchise to NUI and TCD is unconstitutional. Judgment available shortly
