Summary of this debate

Auto-generated

I wish to discuss the number of vacant positions in the Judiciary, including on the Supreme Court, the Court of Appeal, the Circuit Courts and the District Courts. There are currently three vacancies on the national courts; one on the Supreme Court, one on a Circuit Court and one on a District Court.

These include digitisation of historic Garda materials to make them publicly available online, including a photographic exhibition; localised exhibitions and events to commemorate the centenary of An Garda Síochána throughout 2022; the issuing of a commemorative ribbon and coin for personnel working during the centenary year; the extension of the Garda Museum for additional exhibitions; and the publication of a commemorative book.

Before the first question I wish to congratulate the Minister. I did not get the chance to do so on my own behalf.
