Fellows

Professor Anthony Coughlan

Anthony Coughlan is Senior Lecturer Emeritus in Social Policy at Trinity College, Dublin.  He is an economist who has been involved in the debate on Ireland's relations with the EEC, the EC and now the EU for the past 40 years.  He is secretary of The National Platform EU Research and Information Centre, which produces documentation critical of closer European integration from an Irish perspective. He was responsible for initiating the 1986 Crotty case before the Irish Supreme Court which prevented the Irish State from ratifying the Single European Act Treaty by majority vote in the Irish parliament (Dail) and which led the Court to lay down that a referendum of the people was necessary in Ireland before there could be a surrender of sovereignty to supranational institutions, as the people were the repositories of sovereignty.  Subsequent Irish referendums on European treaties have stemmed from this court  judgement and it is because of it that the Republic of Ireland is constitutionally required  to hold a referendum on the Treaty of Lisbon.  He was also centrally involved in the McKenna and Coughlan cases before the Irish Supreme Court - the former preventing Irish Governments from using public money to try to obtain a particular result in a referendum and the latter requiring an equal allocation of free broadcasting time for both sides in referendums. He was chairman for some years of the European Alliance of EU Critical Movements (TEAM) and is a member of the Advisory Board of the European Journal, London.
