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

Catherine Murphy (SD), Kildare North

There is a scoring system and a mechanism for evaluation for any job one goes for.
It is very difficult to figure out how any Supreme Court judge, or any judge, would be appointed in a way that takes account of judicial experience and other relevant experience without some sort of metric. It is apparently being done on an emotional basis as opposed to a rational basis.
