Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Report Stage (17 May 2018)

Clare Daly: I agree that there is something utterly demoralising about having to be here today and the manner in which this incredibly important issue is being dealt with by the Government.

Bringing forward legislation requires a hell of a lot of work in our offices at all...

Under the amendment, when the commission is proposing a list of people...

Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Report Stage (17 May 2018)

Clare Daly: It is hard to follow that one. I will go back to the issue at stake. The Minister is correct that there are aspirations regarding the encouragement of gender equality and diversity throughout the Bill.
