Mary Lou McDonald (Dublin Central, Sinn Fein)

The Legal Services Bill was published yesterday. It is not on the draft schedule for next week. Can the Minister tell the House when it will come before the Dáil? Can he also say something about the relationship between this Bill and judicial appointments? It is depressing to see that the old boys' network is still alive and well, with people with political affiliations being appointed to the Bench.
