Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2022: Committee Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2022-10-18
============================================================

Michael McDowell (IND), National University of Ireland

I find it odd that the amendment is now found to be beyond the scope of this Bill. I will take up the matter with the Cathaoirleach. However, I will say that one of those amendments is very important. The purpose of the Bill is to amend the Judicial Council Bill and there is a mistake in that legislation which needs urgent amendment. I am more relaxed about my third amendment. I want to make the point that these rulings are not in anybody's interests. These are matters which should be dealt with soon.
