- Seanad: Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Report Stage (Resumed) (10 Dec 2019)
Ivana Bacik: I will finish the point. The amendment I propose, which is amendment No. 13, seeks to import a definition of "practising barrister" and "practising solicitor" from the 2015 Act into both this legislation and also the Courts (Supplemental Provisions) Act 1961. It has a far more general impact than any later amendments the Minister may be proposing that refer just to the definition of...

- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (11 Dec 2019)

The matter before us, however, was never discussed or raised at the meeting last week and was not flagged with us. Senator McDowell...
