Leo Varadkar expects Fianna Fáil to delay judicial bill further

The Judicial Appointments Bill risks not being passed until after October, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has signalled.

Mr Varadkar warned he expects the delayed legislation to be held up further by Fianna Fáil.

It had been hoped the legislation, strongly pushed by Independent Alliance Minister Shane Ross, would be passed before the Dáil’s summer break.
