An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business
Dail Éireann — 2020-11-17
============================================================

Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

I have said that the Government fully complied with its duties and responsibilities under the law and the Constitution in appointing Mr. Justice Woulfe to the Supreme Court. He was recommended as a suitable candidate by the Judicial Appointments Advisory Board, and that is it. Where judges have been appointed previously by the Government, one name went to the Cabinet. That is the position.
