Everyone knows that. When I became Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform, the Cabinet handbook provided that when the justice Minister intended to propose someone to the Cabinet for appointment as a judge, he or she had to consult the Attorney General prior to doing do. I presume the Cabinet handbook still contains that provision. I think the rule is probably still in place.
