High Court case from 1964

LoveCoke

In 1964, the late Gladys Ryan took her case to the High Court against water fluoridation, on the basis that citizens had no choice but to drink medicated water.

Is there any way to get a report of that case?

There is another case coming up . Hopw will that suceed when the last one did not? Has something changed n Irish Constitutional Law?

I don't know what the basis for the (supposed) new case might be, but the reason Ryan is famous (notorious?) doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the place of fluoride ions in Irish society per se. Ryan is fundamental to the doctrine of unenumerated constitutional rights.

And yes, constitutional law changes over time. This can happen without any constitutional amendments, the Constitution can just 'evolve' via the courts waltzing with the human experience, as society leads, of course.

Again, that has no bearing on the fluoride case one way or the other.
