Richie is joined by the Irish Journalist, author and broadcaster, John Waters.
Ireland's Supreme Court has reserved its decision in an appeal brought by Gemma O’Doherty and John Waters against the dismissal of their challenge of the constitutionality of laws introduced in response to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Their appeal is against a decision by the High Court, later upheld by the Court of Appeal (COA), not to grant them permission to bring their action against the measures on the basis it was “misconceived and entirely without merit”.
Following the conclusion of submissions from the two applicants and the state yesterday, Chief Justice Donal O’Donnell said the court was reserving its decision and would give judgement at a later date.
In a fascinating and illuminating chat with Richie, John describes what it was like to argue one of the most important cases ever heard in Ireland, before the country's Supreme Court Justices. The guys also run down the day's biggest news stories.
