For what it's worth, that ruling is strongly disputed by the Irish Government and is under appeal.
- lucideer 9y agoTrue, though Ireland currently has a minority government operating under a combination of coalition and confidence and supply[0], and the ruling is broadly supported not only by opposition, but also by independent coalition members. Opposition to the EU ruling is far from a popular position within Ireland, even within government. "Strongly" is an overstatement.

- anonymousDan 9y agoIt is strongly disputed by the government, I wasn't talking about the opposition. And Fianna Fail, the main opposition party, would also broadly support the government's position. There is zero chance of there being a government in the foreseeable future that would take a contrary position.
