Judicial Council Bill
Deputy McGrath cited confusion over a High Court case and called for the long-promised Judicial Council Bill. The Ceann Comhairle ruled that the case could not be discussed, while the Taoiseach said the Bill was due this session.
The Judicial Council Bill has never been more needed. It has been promised on many occasions. This morning in the High Court a case went ahead half an hour before it was listed and an individual was jailed only to be brought back to a different court at 1 p.m. and be freed. This is the second time this gentleman has been jailed by the same judge. I can name him-----

What is going on down there under Mr. Justice Hunt is a farce and is unacceptable.

It is a matter for the Judicial Council Bill. When will it be introduced?
