‹ Order of Business Judicial Council Bill
Summary
Mattie McGrath raises concerns about judicial conflicts of interest and seeks the judicial council legislation; the Taoiseach says it is due later in the year.
I also want to raise a matter related to the courts. I want to ask about the judicial council Bill because in recent weeks a High Court judge appointed a liquidator to a company, of which he is a director, and the liquidator was also a board member of that company. Many activities are going on in the courts that are unclear. We need good legislation in this area in order that we can discuss these issues and bring the courts into line as happens in other countries.
