Yes, there have been instances in Irish law where the courts have struck down an act of the Oireachtas (Irish parliament) as unconstitutional. The Irish Constitution grants the courts the power of judicial review to ensure legislative acts are in accordance with the Constitution. This power has been used in cases where laws were found to contravene fundamental rights or exceed the powers of the Oireachtas.
