  • High Court hears freedom of assembly challenge in Dublin Freedom of assembly (constitutional challenge to military order) · Co. Dublin

    Sergeant Martin Bright, a man and Deputy General Secretary of PDFORRA, brought a High Court challenge against a military order issued in August 2018 that directed Permanent Defence Forces members not to attend unofficial parades and protests. Bright intended to attend a protest in Dublin City Centre in September 2018 organised over army pay and conditions, and claims the order breaches his rights to freedom of assembly. The defendants argue Bright lacks legal standing because he was seconded to PDFORRA, which the State says cannot engage in public agitation. The case is being heard at the High Court in Dublin before Mr Justice Mark Sanfey, and the hearing continues.
