Michelle Keane’s bid to block the Dáil vote on the EU Migration and Asylum Pact was dismissed by the High Court, reported on 25 June 2024.

The judge found the injunction application was bound to fail because granting it would breach the separation of powers. Keane had argued the pact was unconstitutional and should be put to a referendum; the Dáil vote was due that evening.
