The High Court refused an independent candidate's application for access to inspect polling documentation and for the retention of such documents pending a garda investigation and unspecified legal proceedings. The court determined that the applicant lacked standing, as there was no active petition or prosecution in which she was involved, and her previous application for an election petition had been denied. The court emphasised the applicant's failure to inform the court of relevant facts and previous orders, highlighting the importance of litigants adhering to proper court procedures.
