Consider more solicitors for High Court bench, retiring judge urges

Compassion was equally a hallmark of the judge’s judicial career, the Attorney said, noting his “very strong record of upholding the rights of persons who have been the victims of discrimination or sexual abuse.”

Tributes were also paid by the Bar Council Chair Sara Phelan, Law Society President Maura Derivan, Courts Service CEO Angela Denning, Garda Chief Superintendent Patrick McMenamin and the judge’s long-serving registrar, Caroline Murray. “I think you get to know someone who is charged with a sexual offence in a different way, maybe a more compassionate way than society would see them, and I did walk through that valley with them as far as I could.”

He said he and other judges later succeeded in reducing a “huge” backlog in the High Court asylum list.
