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

Helen McEntee (FG), Meath East

Formerly, before 2014 or 2015, the process was that the names came directly to the Minister. That has since changed where they go directly to the Office of the Attorney General, but then come directly to my office. I cannot confirm or deny but it is my understanding that they do not stay in the Attorney General's office and that they come directly to my private office.
