I welcome this Bill and Fianna Fáil will be supporting it. It is good that we are appointing six extra judges to the Court of Appeal. While the Court of Appeal was established in 2014 to deal with the very serious backlog in the Supreme Court, and it has made inroads in that regard, there are still serious delays. Justice delayed is justice denied, so I very much welcome the addition of these six judges. I look forward to the Bill being passed.
