Norris v. Ireland

Norris v. Ireland was a 1988 case decided by the European Court of Human Rights. The case was brought against the Republic of Ireland by Senator David Norris, and his Senior Counsel was fellow member of the Campaign for Homosexual Law Reform, Mary Robinson, who later became the first female President of Ireland.

The complaint of Norris was directed against the existence of laws criminalising certain homosexual acts between consenting adult men. The court ruled in favour of Norris, on similar grounds to those of Dudgeon v. United Kingdom.
