Reading time: 1 minute
Ireland could go without a Chief Justice for up to two months after Mrs Justice Susan Denham retires, The Irish Times reports.
The Government does not expect that it will be able to nominate a successor before the August break, sources told the newspaper.
Instead, the new Chief Justice will be appointed sometime in September or October.
The news follows an announcement that an ad hoc committee of three people will consider candidates for the post.
The Government hopes that a new Chief Justice will be in place by the time the legal term begins on 2 October, but it could take longer.
