Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Report Stage (Resumed) (22 May 2018)

John Lahart: As we know, given it is a point that has been made repeatedly, at the moment the Judicial Appointments Board does this quite effectively and efficiently. The commission will be a quango. The other point that I presume is not lost on our Sinn Féin colleagues, who are not the only republicans in this House, although I do not want to go back over the ground Deputy Ó Snodaigh...
