Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed)
Seanad Éireann — 2022-11-15
============================================================

Helen McEntee (FG), Meath East

We are looking at that in the reverse so that is not somebody canvassing, that a person is free to understand who the individual is or to ask the question, that is currently the case. Names are put forward and there has to be an understanding of who is being put forward, particularly if people do not know all the names, especially as a large number of names are often put forward or a name that has been recommended by myself, just one name. We are not talking about the leaders of parties canvassing. We are talking about them making a decision.
