Charles Flanagan (Laois-Offaly, Fine Gael)

I welcome the progress announced by the Minister in this regard. I assume from his statement that the Minister expects to bring legislation before the House before the end of this year. In this regard, the Minister referred to a forum in cases of alleged judicial misbehaviour or misconduct. Does the Minister envisage that the legislation would cover such matters as inconsistency of sentencing, about which there has been considerable public debate?
