Michael McDowell (Independent) | Oireachtas source

I wish to inform the Minister that no less a newspaper than The Irish Timespublished an editorial last Saturday which advised him to scrap the ill-advised Judicial Appointments Commission Bill, which is being foisted upon the country at the whim of the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, Deputy Ross. It went on to say the Bill is bogged down in the Seanad because of a rearguard action led by the former Attorney General, Senator McDowell, but I am not on my own on this.
