Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Committee Stage (Resumed)
12:30 pm
Charles Flanagan (Laois, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
The Bill is drafted to exclude practising lawyers from the lay person concept.
Senator Wilson raised an interesting point and I refer Senators to section 33, wherein it deals with the qualification of certain legal academics for appointment to judicial office. That section distinguishes between experience as a legal academic and experience as a legal practitioner.
