Letters to the Editor

The ongoing farce that is the never-ending debate on the deeply flawed Judicial Appointments Bill resumes tomorrow in the Seanad.

The Bill is simply genuflection to political bombast and a symbol of the political impotence of a minority Government dependent on the support of the self-styled Independent Alliance. The Bill, if ever enacted, will implement no meaningful substantive court reform that will benefit the public, nor will it address any of the major deficiencies within our legal system.
