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

I can understand that is the purpose of the Bill.
Section 51(1) seems on the face of it to say that a person could be appointed who had been recommended by the commission but was not recommended on this occasion. The provision seems ambiguous and I am interested in that aspect. Maybe we will come back to it later when we discuss the section.
