Brian Kennedy

lawyer Ireland

Brian Kennedy SC is a prominent Irish barrister known for his expertise in constitutional law and his role in significant legal cases involving the government. Recently, he represented the State in the Court of Appeal regarding a case initiated by Senator Gerard Craughwell, which seeks to compel the government to disclose a secret air defense agreement with the UK. Kennedy argued that such an arrangement does not meet the definition of an 'international agreement,' thereby seeking to prevent its disclosure under claims of executive privilege and national security.
