The Supreme Court held that this process does not meet the high standards of natural justice applicable to a person facing the severe consequence of losing their Irish citizenship. Ultimately, the revocation process under Section 19 resulted in a situation where the same person who initiated the revocation process the Minister , and whose representatives make the case for revocation before the committee, also makes the final decision to revoke.

The Supreme Court therefore found that Section 19 of the Act was unconstitutional. The commission says it will now be necessary to introduce a new process which meets the requirements of natural justice before any revocation of citizenship can take place.

The court found that that the scheme in section 19 of the act for the revocation of naturalised citizenship was unconstitutional. It then invited submissions from parties, including IHREC in its role as amicus curiae , on what order it should make following this ruling.

The commission argued before the court that it was essential that naturalised Irish citizens facing possible revocation of their citizenship were afforded fair procedures in that process as a matter of human rights law. IHREC expressed its view that the appropriate order from the Supreme Court would be one striking down section 19 of the act in its entirety. Ms Justice Dunne said, however, that she believed concerns about section 19 1 — the power to revoke naturalised citizenship — could be met by the granting of declarations striking down the other two parts of the legislation.

She said the Minister for Justice and the Oireachtas now needed to legislate to put in place a new scheme which achieves the necessary balance and human rights protections.
