Judicial Appointments Process: Statements
Dail Éireann — 2020-11-26
============================================================

Helen McEntee (FG), Meath East

What I am saying is that I made a recommendation. It is my job and my role as Minister for Justice to make a recommendation. When I made that recommendation to the Taoiseach, the Taoiseach did not object. It is a long-standing practice, and has been the case for many years, that there is not just the JAAB process, there are expressions of interest from judges-----
