“Sometimes I think that people see the law, and understandably so, as something that does something to them, and yet I think CLM and other similar organisations show that the law can be a weapon for you to utilise in improving your situation – that message is very important to get across,” he said on Wednesday.
The law was not a perfect instrument as “there are lots of days when its depressing, lots of days when its dispiriting, and it’s important to recognise the difference that is made by CLM”, he said. The first ever formal judicial misconduct complaints procedure mechanism is expected to be in operation within weeks, which will provide for a range of sanctions including the removal of a judge from office – currently only the Dáil has such power under Article 35.4.1 of the Constitution, and to date no judge has ever being removed.
“Obviously it has to be paid for and have support from either private or public sources, but I think the lesson from what is being done here is that we need this kind of thing nationwide, and not just in Dublin and Limerick.”
