Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages
Dail Éireann — 2022-06-29
============================================================

Helen McEntee (FG), Meath East

My view on this is that I do not see why any Attorney General, be they serving or retired or having moved on, should be disbarred at all for any particular period from applying. On the judicial appointments commission we have the Chief Justice and two other judicial members. We are not saying that they should at any point recuse themselves or not apply for a promotion or position for at least two years. They of course will be allowed to apply to progress their career in the same way.
