At its meeting yesterday, the Government agreed to nominate Mr. Kerida Naidoo, Senior Counsel, for appointment as an Ordinary Judge of the High Court by the President of Ireland.
The vacancy arose following the implementation of section 8 of the Civil Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2021, which provides for the statutory complement of High Court judges to be exceeded by one, where considered necessary in the interest of the administration of Justice.
The Courts and Court Officers Act 1995 (Section 9(2)) Order 2021 was signed on 7 December, 2021.
The Government has taken the necessary steps to formally advise President Higgins of the nomination in accordance with constitutional practice.
