Vol. 566 No. 3

Written Answers. - Proposed Legislation.

Pat Rabbitte

Ceist:

188 Mr. Rabbitte asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform when it is intended to introduce the judicial conduct and ethics Bill, especially having regard to concerns regarding a number of recent statements by judges; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12791/03]

An Agreed Programme for Government, between Fianna Fáil and the Progressive Democrats, contains a commitment to bring forward legislation to provide effective remedies for complaints about judicial misbehaviour, including lay participation in the investigation of complaints. I hope to publish the Bill early next year.
