    Who pays for this? And if he loses who pays for it?

    I would imagine he pays for it himself.

    I would also think the government will ignore it, so no cost to the state.

    When a stinking rich dude like Ganley or Denis O'Brien goes into court with two senior counsel, you really don't have to ask that question.

    In this kind of case, the loser typically gets landed with the bill for both sides.

    Thankyou.
    I wouldn't say it's cheap to take a court case like this. It's just my opinion but I think he's crazy.in 4 ish weeks all going well religious services will probably be resumed.
    But I suppose he has the money to do it.

    happened before and will happen again. the case in question was taken against RTÉ . Then appealed. Appeal was unsuccessful. Fine on plaintiff increased.

    Not necessarily. The talk was that we would return to level 3, which still means no in person church services.

    As a general rule, costs follow the event, meaning that the unsuccessful party pays the costs of the other side. The courts have however jurisdiction to award costs as they see fit and sometimes in matters of particular public importance, costs may be awarded or apportioned differently.

    Ganley recently got a sizeable cheque from RTE :)

    I think he has a very good chance of winning, especially if we got back to level 3 (which is the plan) where Mass is still banned.

    Surely it would be far cheaper for Ganley to buy a TV and watch mass on RTE every day (apart from Saturday)? And if he really wanted to watch mass on Saturday, then he could record Friday's mass and watch it again. Or he could visit the Vatican website and buy some DVDs of great masses from the past. I haven't checked if there's one there by Father Michael Cleary, but you never know!

    I myself haven't been able to visit my favourite brothel for the past fortnight, but rather than making a complete tit of myself in the High Court, I cobbled together a satisfactory solution in-house - one that doesn't require two Senior Counsel to provide complete satisfaction.

    Easy now. There are some things counsel will not do

    The hopeless impotence of the Catholic Church in Ireland has been exposed during the pandemic. Until the current generation, Irish people would have flocked to the Church for deliverance from this plague. Today, our government pays less heed to the Catholic hierarchy than to publicans, travel agents and gym operators. It is left to a /Mod deletion/ layman to plead in court for the right to attend Mass. What next in the humiliation of the Catholic Church in Ireland - gatherings at mass rocks? priests fleeing from the constabulary?
