The Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2022 was published on 8 April 2022, taking into account the outcome both of widespread consultations and key aspects of a comprehensive pre-legislative scrutiny report prepared by an Oireachtas Committee. This represents an important step forward in the reform of the judicial appointments process, as I have committed to in my recently published Justice Plan 2022.
While I cannot specify a date at this early stage, I look forward to working with all members of the Houses of the Oireachtas to bring this legislation to enactment this year.
