Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality
General Scheme of the Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2020: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Liam Herrick:
The matters to which the Chairman refers are dealt with now by the Judicial Council and its conduct committee. The council is in the very early stages of establishing its procedures. The ICCL is engaged with National University of Ireland Galway and the University of Limerick on some initial research and working hopefully with the Judicial Council regarding the development of its procedures. We are greatly supportive of the approach set out in the Judicial Council Act and of having the Judicial Council taking on this function, which will greatly improve things in the context of the matters to which the Chairman referred.
