The Deputy will be aware that, under the Constitution, judges are appointed by the President on the advice of the Government. Further to my response to Parliamentary Question No. 4 of 13 June 2013, in which I indicated that the Government had nominated six persons for appointment by the President as a Specialist Judge of the Circuit Court, I can confirm that these appointments were made by the President on 15 July 2013.
