Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2022: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2023-07-04
============================================================

Michael McDowell (IND), National University of Ireland

I move amendment No. 26:
In page 28, between lines 28 and 29, to insert the following:
"Right of Government to advise President: consequential vacancies
43. Nothing in this Part affects, limits or inhibits the right of the Government in any case where it advises the President to appoint any member of the Supreme Court, the Court of Appeal, or the High Court to any judicial office in any of those courts to appoint any other such member to the vacancy thereby created without seeking any recommendation from the Commission.".
