At issue is whether courts can intervene when committee allegedly fails to obey rules
rejected Mr O’Brien’s proceedings against the Dáil and the State over the statements, the Supreme Court agreed to hear a direct appeal given the importance of the issues raised.
Appropriate speech is speech that respects the constitutional separation of powers between the legislature and the courts but inappropriate speech does not respect that, Michael Cush SC for Mr O’Brien said. The businessman claims the statements, made after he got injunctions against RTÉ on April 30th, 2015, amounted to “unwarranted interference” in the judicial domain because they revealed most of the information subject of the injunction and made his court action pointless.
The “real test” whether the courts can intervene in an Oireachtas Committee’s decision is whether that directly affects persons outside the Houses, Mr O’Brien says.
