Case relates to retrospective claims following ruling in European Court of Justice in 1988. Ann Carberry claimed she was entitled to receive transitional payments given by the Irish Government after the European Community equality directive on social welfare treatment was implemented in 1986. Case was settled in 1991 but outcome unknown.
Mary Robinson worked as Senior Counsel (SC) on this case. However, once she was inaugurated as President of Ireland on 4th December 1990, it is unlikely she continued as SC. Material is arranged across 2 files.
