Barristers to be appointed to District Court bench
Barristers Joanne Carroll and Cephas Power have been nominated for appointment as ordinary judges to the District Court.
The first vacancy arose following retirement of Judge Constantine O’Leary in November, and the second following the retirement of Judge Anne Ryan at the start of January.
Ms Carroll qualified as a barrister in 1992 and is also a qualified mediator. Mr Power called to the Bar in 2006 and has lectured in law at Waterford Institute of Technology since 2005. Both are graduates of the King’s Inns.
The government has taken the necessary steps to formally advise the President of the nomination in accordance with constitutional practice.
