Shane Ross: Judicial Bill is a plate of caviar

The Government’s Judicial Appointments Bill is no longer a “dog’s dinner” but rather a plate of “caviar and oysters”, Transport Minister Shane Ross has said.

Mr Ross, in an interview with the Irish Examiner, has said the bill will be passed, despite the best efforts of the Law Library.

The bill, which seeks to remove the appointment of judges from the hands of politicians, will be passed by the Oireachtas before the summer recess, he said.
