Abstract
This article seeks to reassess the TD and Sinnott cases in Irish constitutional law. It explores the context of these cases, and why they are regarded as important and closely linked in Irish constitutional discourse. It then analyses their reasoning to consider whether they withstand scrutiny after two decades. It concludes that the judgments painted with too broad a brush, reaching some questionable conclusions, drawing overly categorical distinctions between branches of government, and creating conceptual confusion.
