I kept count for a while of EU cases against Ireland in this field. Judgments were coming out from the Court of Justice at a rate of one every seven months at the peak. That peak lasted years.

More brass neck than gold plate. A frustrated EU Court AG once even accused foot-dragging story-changing Irish govt of playing Snakes and Ladders with the Court. It was a mortifying condemnation. #Law #GamePlay #MetalFatigue.

I know - Irish govts don't do mortification. Their lawbreaking exposed in that case alone cost way more than the social welfare overpayments heavily reported in all the media in the past few days. Shameless.
