The court found in favour of Kerins today, after she appealed a High Court finding that PAC’s questioning of her in 2014 was inappropriate.
In his ruling today, Chief Justice Frank Clarke ruled that the court had the power to find that PAC’s actions unlawful because the committee acted outside its remit, agreeing with the Oireachtas Committee on Procedures and Privileges, which had also come to that conclusion.
