That is probably a line in the report already written. It is great to have consent.
The Bar did not mention it - it was not in Mr. Dignam's oral presentation - but the Law Society referenced the inadequate provision of judges. I know there a little history in this area going back, but why do we have such a low appointment of judges across the board? The statistic cited was 6% as against the international average of 22%. It is another element and it has not been raised. That is the only reason I am asking about it now.
