Edmund Honohan (born April 1952)[1] is an Irish barrister who was the Master of the High Court from 2001 to 2022.
[3] He was involved with Fianna Fáil early in his career, where he assisted with the writing of the party's manifesto for the 1977 general election.
[19][22] The High Court granted an injunction in 2014 restraining him from acting upon a referral he made to the Director of Public Prosecutions regarding alleged perjury by Allied Irish Banks in a debt recovery case.
[23] Iseult O'Malley later held in 2015 that he had no power to make such a referral and quashed his order to strike out the action.
[24][25][26] In 2018, Honohan drafted the National Housing Co-Operative and Fair Mortgage Bill, which he provided to Fianna Fáil.
