Ireland's new Court of Appeal has held its first session today (Wednesday), under the remit that justice and efficiency are "complementary".
Nine judges will rule at the new court, which was established following a referendum in 2013.
It is understood the Appeal Court will focus on cases of "exceptional public importance", or if it is "in the interest of justice".
Prior to the first session of the court some 250 cases have been transferred from the Supreme Court to the Court of Appeal.
