Amnesty International Ireland secured the quashing of SIPO’s €137,000 grant-return order in the High Court, reported on 31 July 2018.

The settlement recorded SIPO’s acceptance that its decision deeming the Open Society Foundations donation political was procedurally flawed.

SIPO said it would take no further steps over the grant, close its investigation file and contribute towards Amnesty’s legal costs.
