The Irish Government has filed an appeal against a High Court judgment that challenges its attempts to block a legal case concerning an alleged secret air defence' agreement with the UK .

The case centres on claims that the Royal Air Force is permitted to intercept suspect aircraft in Irish airspace under a deal that has never been publicly disclosed.

Senator Gerard Craughwell argues that any such arrangement is unconstitutional and unlawful unless approved by the Irish people through a referendum.
