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

Catherine Murphy (SD), Kildare North

The Minister has told us she had a discussion with the Tánaiste specifically in relation to the former Attorney General. Did she have a discussion with the former Attorney General, with the former Minister or with anyone else in relation to this appointment? Did the Minister take it that the Tánaiste was saying that he favoured the appointment of Séamus Woulfe? Did he tell the Minister that he had told the Taoiseach and the Minister, Deputy Ryan, that he had come through the JAAB process?
