Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Committee Stage (Resumed)
10:30 am
Alice-Mary Higgins (Independent) | Oireachtas source
I welcomed the amendments made in the Dáil because it was appropriate that the President of each of the courts should be included. A person from the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission was a positive and constructive addition to the mix. I do not have a problem with the board being larger if it accommodates all suitable legal persons and a suitable number of laypersons. From my perspective, the size of the board is not a concern.
