Jim O'Callaghan: There has been considerable delay in giving effect to the decision in the Damache case. The circumstances of Demache made quite a significant case. Another matter that needs to be emphasised is that it certainly must be the case that the Government - the Executive - must be entitled to decide whether revocation of naturalisation is permitted. I listened to the points that Deputy Howlin...
