I move amendment No. 105:

In page 40, between lines 4 and 5, to insert the following:"(4) In the performance of its functions under this Act, a relevant Committee shall be prohibited from any consideration of an applicant’s political affiliation.

(5) In the performance of its functions under this Act, the Government shall be prohibited from any consideration of an applicant's political affiliation.

(6) An applicant for judicial office shall not have been a member of, or a representative of, or a donor to any political party in the State in the three years immediately preceding the date of application for judicial office.".
