Judicial appointments Bill consultations
Deputy Howlin asked whether the forthcoming judicial appointments Bill would be discussed with the Chief Justice and opposition parties. The Taoiseach said the Bill was not finalised but there would be talks, including with members of the Judiciary.
On the legislative list published in the past hour or so, the judicial appointments Bill is promised for the coming weeks. In advance of its publication, will the Tánaiste have discussions with the Chief Justice on this important matter? In advance of finalising the Bill's text, will the Tánaiste have discussions with the parties in opposition?
