	Supreme Court of the Republic of Ireland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Supreme Court (Irish: Chúirt Uachtarach) is the highest judicial authority in the Republic of Ireland.
		Some lawyers have questioned whether all decisions taken by the old Supreme Court up to 1961 are legally sound as a result, given that the old court in their view, as constituted under the old constitution, did not have all the legal jurisdiction possessed by the new court.
		However, the Supreme Court cannot declare to be invalid a law that has previously been referred to it by the President, under her reserve powers, and on that occasion been found to be constitutional.

	BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA V. DALE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		This Court disagrees with the New Jersey Supreme Court’s determination that the Boy Scouts’ ability to disseminate its message would not be significantly affected by the forced inclusion of Dale.
		First, contrary to the state court’s view, an association need not associate for the purpose of disseminating a certain message in order to be protected, but must merely engage in expressive activity that could be impaired.
		In so ruling, the Court is not guided by its view of whether the Boy Scouts’ teachings with respect to homosexual conduct are right or wrong; public or judicial disapproval of an organization’s expression does not justify the State’s effort to compel the organization to accept members in derogation of the organization’s expressive message.
