Is this "giveaway" constitutional?

Allowing for Article 10 of Bunreacht na hEireann (Constitution of the Republic of Ireland), is the legislation connected with this giveaway constitutional?

For example, Article 10.1 reads:

"All natural resources, including the air and all forms of potential energy, within the jurisdiction of the Parliament and Government established by this Constitution and all royalties and franchises within that jurisdiction belong to the State subject to all estates and interests therein for the time being lawfully vested in any person or body."

Has Shell To Sea (or anybody else) looked into the constitutional aspects of the present legal arrangements being used to implement the "giveaway"?

If not, it might be a great mistake to simply assume that the legislation in question "must" be constitutional (just because it exists)?

Unconstitutional "law" -- and there's plenty of it about these days -- is illegal law; and, as such, it's use is not "valid" for any purpose other than corruption (and all of the many forms of serious crime closely associated with political, legal, and corporate corruption).

"
Stop throwing the Constitution (basic law of the land) in my face," Bush screamed back. "It's just a goddamned piece of paper!"

"Mr. President," one aide in the meeting said: "There is a valid case that the provisions in this law undermine the Constitution."

"I don't give a goddamn," Bush retorted. "I'm the President and the Commander-in-Chief. Do it my way."
