In re Article 26 and the Regulation of Information (Services outside the State for Termination of Pregnancies) Bill 1995
In re Article 26 and the Regulation of Information (Services outside the State for the Termination of Pregnancies) Bill 1995 [1995] 1 IR 1 was a decision of the Supreme Court of Ireland after a referral by President Mary Robinson under Article 26 of the Constitution of Ireland. This is a procedure whereby the constitutionality of a bill is considered by the Supreme Court before it is signed into law, similar to the concept of a facial challenge in the United States. If the Court finds that it is constitutional, it may not later be challenged after its enactment.

The Supreme Court ultimately found that the Regulation of Information (Services outside the State for the Termination of Pregnancies) Act 1995 was constitutional, and decisively rejected the argument that natural law supersede positive law in the Constitution of Ireland.
