Amharc ar fhreagraThe Deputy will be aware that, under the Constitution, judges are appointed by the President on the advice of the Government. Further to my response to Parliamentary Question No. 4 of 13 June 2013, in which I indicated that the Government had nominated six persons for appointment by the President as a Specialist Judge of the Circuit Court, I can confirm that these appointments were made by the President on 15 July 2013.
