My predecessor, then Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality, presented the Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017 to Dáil Eireann.  The Deputy will know that since I was appointed Minister, I have been involved in progressing the Bill in its passage through the House.  My officials were, and continue to be involved, in preparing the Bill and the Scheme of a Bill which preceded it and in the work supporting the Bill's passage through the Houses.
