Irish courts ‘will not creatively extend or amend existing legislation’, says Ms Justice Síofra O’Leary

Ms Justice O’Leary, the outgoing president of the ECtHR, was addressing an audience including senior Irish and international judges at a special commemorative ceremony in the Four Courts marking the centenary of the establishment of Ireland’s independent courts system. As part of the new constitutional settlement stemming from the Belfast Agreement, the convention was incorporated subject to very deliberate terms set out in a 2003 Act.
While the convention is an international treaty to which Ireland is a signatory, neither the convention nor the judgments of the ECtHR benefit, unlike EU law, from direct effect, said Ms Justice O’Leary.
