The Irish Supreme Court dismissed Facebook’s application, finding it had jurisdiction to intervene but the company failed to substantiate its request. The court therefore did not take the actions sought by Facebook, allowing the case to proceed to the Court of Justice of the EU. The decision keeps the cross‑border data‑transfer dispute alive.
Why it matters: The ruling permits the EU‑US data‑transfer case against Facebook to continue, affecting cross‑border data flows and privacy enforcement.
