European Council Rule of Law Report 2022 and Rule of Law Situation in Ireland: Engagement with Ms Vra Jourová

I have many things I would say, but it would be repeating what I said or me climbing up on my soapbox and giving the poor clerk to the committee a heart attack with all the wild allegations I could make.
I will admit to my own ignorance again regarding Ms Jourová’s engagement with civil society while she is here. I am more than happy to send through our seminar reports and link with her office and recommend some of the people here. Mr. Justice Clarke and the superior court judges have been clear on the issue of the Judiciary and how accessibility is not just about the number of judges and the number of courtrooms. There are fundamental issues that we need to work on.
