The Seventeenth Amendment of the Constitution of Ireland provided that the confidentiality of meetings of the cabinet would not prevent the High Court from ordering that certain information be disclosed when this was in the public interest. It was effected by the Seventeenth Amendment of the Constitution Act, 1997, which was approved by referendum on 30 October 1997 and signed into law on 14 November of the same year. ==Changes to the text== *Insertion of new Article 28.4.3: :The confidentiality of discussions at meetings of the Government shall be respected in all circumstances save only where the High Court determines that disclosure should be made in respect of a particular matter- ::i. in the interests of the administration of justice by a Court, or ::ii. by virtue of an overriding public interest, pursuant to an application in that behalf by a tribunal appointed by the Government or a Minister of the Government on the authority of the Houses of the Oireachtas to inquire into a matter stated by them to be of public importance. *(Existing Article 28.4.3 retained but renumbered as 28.4.4) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Seventeenth Amendment of the Constitution of Ireland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
