Individuals powerless against State resources
A minister for justice, with the backing of the cabinet, used his executive power to deprive a person of his livelihood. He was able to do this despite the fact the citizen concerned denied the charge against him by the State, and was not referred to judgment of the judiciary.
The Taoiseach said that if he felt aggrieved, the person involved could himself take legal action. Following this advice would be expensive. However, since he has lost his job, he may not have the money.
