Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality
Judicial Appointments: Discussion
10:20 am
Dr. Laura Cahillane:
I examined the figures last week. A couple of months ago, the European Commission for the Efficiency of Justice published a report that stated Ireland's statistics as 73.6% male and 26.4% female representation, and many people are using these figures. The figure of 30% is from last week and is due to the recent appointments.
