Ireland: Cabinet silent on by-election court challenge, The Irish Examiner (2010)

This article reports on the High Court challenge regarding by-elections in Ireland. Since June 2009, vacancies in the Donegal and other constituencies have not been filled up. Senator Pearse Doherty asked the High Court to intervene in this issue, as the government's delay in calling by-elections would violate the citizens' right to representation. The delay is caused by the Cabinet's division on whether or not to call the by-elections together with four referenda, a move that would expose the government to a series of potential defeats.
