Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

This is a complex matter that arose in the House by way of a special committee on the impeachment of a judge a number of years ago. Deputy Ross, who was a Member of the Seanad at the time, will recall the endless decisions that had to be made in that case, although it did not reach a conclusion, as he is aware.

As part of the reform of the legal system, including the courts, the Minister for Justice and Equality is best placed to go beyond mere discussions and see what can actually be done here. Deputy Ross raises a valid point. I know the Deputy does not want to impugn anybody's integrity, but in terms of maintaining the confidence of the people, it is an issue we can certainly look at.
