Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

General Scheme of the Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2020: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Kevin Condon:

I was going to say in response to the points made by Deputies Ward and Daly that Ministers have been at pains to point out that these reforms, which have been in train for some years now, are not at all a reflection on the Judiciary. They are simply a reflection of the fact the procedures we have are somewhat outdated and need to be brought up to today’s standard and best practice, as other contributors have said. That would be a clear motivation behind the reforms.
