Brian Lenihan Jnr (Dublin West, Fianna Fail)

I am pleased to note that progress has been made on the judicial council. As the Deputy will be aware from replies to parliamentary questions, I was awaiting the views of the Chief Justice. The Chief Justice has agreed to the establishment of a small working group comprising one nominee of the Courts Service and one nominee of my Department to progress the drafting of the judicial council Bill.
