Attorney General's comments 'utterly out of order', say Social Democrats

The Social Democrats have said the Attorney General was “utterly out of order” making public comments about legislation to appoint judges as well as a live Supreme Court case.

Seamus Woulfe's comments that the Judicial Appointments Bill was a “dog's dinner” and “unconstitutional” were “unprecedented” and also raise issues about his “capability”, said co-leader Roisín Shortall.
