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

Helen McEntee (FG), Meath East

I have asked my officials what is the precedent here. What I was informed is that no names went to Cabinet. Therefore, I asked the question and my officials in the Department informed me that only one name goes to Cabinet. What we have heard from many previous Ministers for Justice is that only one name ever goes to Cabinet.
