Details: On Christmas Eve 1986 legal history was made in these islands. In an unprecedented move, Justice Barrington in the High Court granted Raymond Crotty an injunction preventing the Government from ratifying the Single European Act. In subsequent litigation the Supreme Court struck down the SEA as being unconstitutional. A referendum followed to amend the Constitution.Citizen Crotty here describes the nerve-racking process by which he successfully challenged the Government and held up Europe until the Constitution was amended. More significantly, he describes the evolution over many years of an important body of thought on the Irish economy which induced him to make that challenge.
