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

Mattie McGrath (IND), Tipperary

I wonder would it be anything to do with the presence in Cabinet of former Minister and former Minister of State, Shane Ross and Finian McGrath then. Let the people be the judge of that.
The judicial complaints board has an office rented and it is staffed, and has everything bar a doorman. When will it be in action and when will Joe Soap be able to make a complaint to the board that was set up under legislation passed by this House and signed by the President into law seven or eight months ago? When can the public get access to that? What is the delay? Who is being protected by not having this complaints board in place?
