Mr Justice George Birmingham has been appointed by ministers as Trinity College Dublin’s new judicial visitor.
He takes up the position following the resignation of Dr Justice Maureen Harding-Clark, who has held the post since 2009 and has now been appointed to the Khmer Rouge Tribunal.
The role of the government-appointed judicial visitor is to hear internal appeals against decisions of the Board and other bodies in College, interpret the College Statutes and approve amendments to the College Statutes.
Mr Justice Birmingham will share this responsibility with the Chancellor Dr Mary McAleese, who is the other visitor.
Provost Dr Patrick Prendergast said: “We are honoured to welcome such an experienced judge to the important position of judicial visitor at Trinity and look forward to benefiting from his expertise.
“We also offer our heartfelt thanks to Dr Justice Maureen Harding-Clark for her valuable contribution to Trinity for more than a decade.”
Dr McAleese added: “I warmly welcome the news of Mr Justice Birmingham’s appointment and very much look forward to working with him.”
