The High Court found last year that part of the Irish legislation allowing such data to be retained and accessed in the investigation of serious crimes, breached EU law and the European Convention on Human Rights.
The State has argued that the High Court's ruling has enormous adverse consequences for the investigation and prosecution of serious crime. Dwyer's legal team argued the legislation allowing data to be retained was general and indiscriminate and there was no independent oversight of the accessing of such data. They said the High Court ruling should be upheld.
Both sides have agreed that if there is a lack of clarity in previous judgments of the Court of Justice of the EU on the issues, the Supreme Court should make a reference to the CJEU. The Chief Justice, Mr Justice Frank Clarke, said the seven judges would give their decision at a later date.
