Mr. Kevin Condon:

To briefly follow on from what Mr. Herrick said, he is right. Since the introduction of the Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017, the Judicial Council has been established. I cannot brief today on the activities of the Judicial Council. In terms of the general scheme, the important context is, clearly, that there are basic eligibility requirements around probity and so on which would be sought by the commission. In drafting the Bill itself, we are looking at there being a link between the commission and the council. In other words, how will the commission whether there is an issue? It can go and ask the council. We are considering one or two measures like that which would help in this regard.
