Judicial Review and Appeals Process: Engagement with Courts Service
2:00 am
Peadar Tóibín (Meath West, Aontú)
Ms Denning said that 252 cases are currently in the system for this year. There are three full-time judges and two part-time. Let us say there are four judges in this scenario. That means each judge has 63 cases. If it takes two months for a judge to give a judgement on each of those cases, then we are talking about 126 months for those cases that are in place, which is ten years for this year's cases. I may be wrong and there could be judgements being made concurrently. A judge may have five or six cases going on, etc. How long does it take on average from when an application comes in for judicial review to start to when a person receives a judgement and the tangled knot is cut and the process can start again?
