State seeks ‘leapfrog appeal’ of landmark Dwyer ruling on data retention law (Irish Legal News, link):
"Brian Murray SC, for the State, told Mr Justice Tony O’Connor it intends to apply to the top court to hear “a leapfrog appeal” of the finding that convicted murderer Graham Dwyer is entitled to certain limited declarations concerning provisions of Ireland’s data retention laws.
It is believed that the appeal of the finding in Dwyer’s favour could be heard by the Supreme Court sometime in the next 12 months."
