IPAS DEVELOPMENTS ARE UNCONSTITUTIONAL UNDER STATUTORY INSTRUMENT 376/2023 On the 21st of January 2021, Jack Chambers, then Minister of State, unlawfully reduced the quorum of Dáil Éireann from twenty members down to five, outside what the Constitution allows. This unconstitutional alteration undermined the integrity of all subsequent legislative acts and resolutions dependent on a valid quorum. When Statutory Instrument 376 of 2023 was introduced and passed in the Dáil, only seven members were present, falling far short of the constitutionally required quorum of twenty. As a result, the resolution authorising this statutory instrument is invalid and unconstitutional. When I first brought this matter before the courts, the judges held that I lacked personal standing because I did not reside beside an IPAS Center and was therefore not directly affected. However, with the backing of the public since April 2024 and through ten months of tireless effort, supported by thousands of pages of evidence, I can now demonstrate that any community personally impacted by the development of an IPAS Center has the right to challenge and strike down this statutory instrument in the High Court. Statutory Instrument 376 of 2023 is repugnant to Article 15 of the Constitution of Ireland, which governs how legislation is created and passed in the Dáil. The Dáil is constitutionally bound to adhere to its Standing Orders, and any departure from those rules directly undermines the constitutional framework of our democracy. No resolution, motion, or statutory instrument passed in breach of these Standing Orders can stand. Any community in Ireland affected by IPAS developments, please get in touch with me on 085 205 0563, and I will assist you in striking down this unconstitutional statutory instrument that has circumvented your community’s rights concerning developments in your local area
