Not strictly what you've asked for but as it sprang to mind see DPP v Lynch

11. In the Irish language version, the expression corresponding to “dwelling” is “ionad cónaithe.” The Court is satisfied that the question of whether a place is the “dwelling” of a person for the purpose of this provision, at least in the context of the criminal law, is one of fact, a view reinforced by the Irish language version. It is at least quite obvious that the constitutional protection would extend to a wide variety of people with dubious legal titles, such as an overholding tenant, the widow of a deceased legal owner, or a person in bona fide possession on foot of an invalid title.
