In matters relating to the correct interpretation of <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Law_of_the_European_Union?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Law of the European Union">European Union law</a>, decisions of the ECJ take precedence over those of the Irish Supreme Court.</p> <p>The relationship between the Irish courts and the ECtHR is more complicated. The <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/European_Convention_on_Human_Rights?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="European Convention on Human Rights">European Convention on Human Rights</a> is a treaty binding on the state in international law. However, as a matter of Irish domestic law, the Convention is enshrined only in statute and does not have the status of constitutional law. Under the terms of the <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/European_Convention_on_Human_Rights_Act_2003?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="European Convention on Human Rights Act 2003">European Convention on Human Rights Act</a>, passed by the Oireachtas in 2003, ordinary statutes must, when possible, be interpreted in line with the Convention. However, in Irish courts, the Convention must give way both to clear legislative intent and to any countermanding requirement of the Constitution. Furthermore, convention provisions cannot be relied upon as separate causes of action.</p> <p>Supreme Court decisions cannot be appealed, as such, to either court. The ECJ hears cases referred to it by the Irish Courts by way of <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Preliminary_ruling?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Preliminary ruling">preliminary ruling</a> and while unsuccessful litigants before the Supreme Court can apply to the ECtHR, the latter court's decision does not have the effect of voiding the Supreme Court's decision. As a matter of Irish domestic law, a decision of the ECtHR does not override acts of the Oireachtas, but instead, it must be brought to the attention of the Oireachtas, which may decide upon legislation or perhaps even a constitutional referendum to implement it.</p> </section> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 section-heading" onclick="mfTempOpenSection(8)"> <span class="indicator mf-icon mf-icon-expand mf-icon--small"></span> <h2 id="See_also">See also</h2><span class="mw-editsection"> <a role="button" href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/w/index.php?title=Supreme_Court_of_Ireland&action=edit&section=12&_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Edit section: See also" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> <span class="minerva-icon minerva-icon--edit"></span> <span>edit</span> </a> </span> </div> <section class="mf-section-8 collapsible-block" id="mf-section-8"> <ul> <li><a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/List_of_Irish_Supreme_Court_cases?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="List of Irish Supreme Court cases">List of Irish Supreme Court cases</a></li> <li><a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Supreme_court?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Supreme court">Supreme court</a></li> <li><a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/D%C3%A1il_Courts?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Dáil Courts">Dáil Courts</a></li> <li><a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Supreme_Court_of_the_Irish_Free_State?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Supreme Court of the Irish Free State">Supreme Court of the Irish Free State</a></li> <li><a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Judiciary?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Judiciary">Judiciary</a></li> <li><a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/History_of_the_Republic_of_Ireland?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="History of the Republic of Ireland">History of the Republic of Ireland</a></li> <li><a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Abortion_in_the_Republic_of_Ireland?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Abortion in the Republic of Ireland">Abortion in the Republic of Ireland</a></li> <li><a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Philip_Sheedy_affair?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Philip Sheedy affair">Philip Sheedy affair</a></li> </ul> </section> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 section-heading" onclick="mfTempOpenSection(9)"> <span class="indicator mf-icon mf-icon-expand mf-icon--small"></span> <h2 id="Notes">Notes</h2><span class="mw-editsection"> <a role="button" href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/w/index.php?title=Supreme_Court_of_Ireland&action=edit&section=13&_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Edit section: Notes" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> <span class="minerva-icon minerva-icon--edit"></span> <span>edit</span> </a> </span> </div> <section class="mf-section-9 collapsible-block" id="mf-section-9"> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1239543626">.mw-parser-output .reflist{margin-bottom:0.5em;list-style-type:decimal}@media screen{.mw-parser-output .reflist{font-size:90%}}.mw-parser-output .reflist .references{font-size:100%;margin-bottom:0;list-style-type:inherit}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-2{column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-3{column-width:25em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns{margin-top:0.3em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns ol{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns li{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-alpha{list-style-type:upper-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-roman{list-style-type:upper-roman}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-alpha{list-style-type:lower-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-greek{list-style-type:lower-greek}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-roman{list-style-type:lower-roman}</style> <div class="reflist reflist-lower-alpha"> <div class="mw-references-wrap"> <ol class="references"> <li id="cite_note-24"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Supreme_Court_of_Ireland?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_ref-24">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text">For example dissenting opinions were given in <i>Norris v.
