This Commentary accompanies the "feminist judgment" on the so-called "Kerry Babies case" in "Northern/Irish Feminist Judgments: Judges' Troubles and the Gendered Politics of Identity" (Hart, 2017). The Commentary sets out briefly the social and factual context of the case and considers the feminist features of the related "judgment" by Dr Vicky Conway. It also examines the public outpouring of support for the woman at the centre of the case, Joanne Hayes, and her experience before the Tribunal of Inquiry, placing this in the context of female credibility in courtroom proceedings.
