Abstract
The decision in PP v The Judges of Dublin Circuit Court' revisits the fate of s 11
of the Criminal Law Amendment Act 1885, a provision that, before its repeal in
1993, prohibited gross indecency between men. This was the law under which
Oscar Wilde was prosecuted, and a measure that profoundly affected the lives
of many gay and bisexual men (in both direct and indirect ways) over many
decades in both Ireland and the UK. Long reviled by the LGBTQ community, s
11 was repealed in 1993.2
