I think diverse means diverse. Different from the up to now normal.
different backgrounds, genders, ethnicities, nationalities etc. You know, just what it means.
I'm not sure how diversity 'sells' how does that work in relation to the judiciary becoming more diverse?
Correct. I suspect these lads on here would all be turning in their graves if they could see Ireland in 100 or 200 years. Great to see.
Have you not noticed that getting more women in politics means getting more middle/upper class women into seats. It won’t be Mary working in Tescos. so it’s not economically diverse. Though would you want a finance minister that failed the leaving cert?
Tell us more about this. It seems like some conspiracy theory. Once again we get people hinting at some overall conspiracy theory but they seem to be unwilling to be forthright in their opinion, preferring to skirt around it.
As for us being bothered, I doubt it. The tide is turning. We've had just over two-three decades of pro-multiculturalism and pro-immigration attitudes, and what has it achieved? Is Europe a more diverse place? Sure. Has the lack of integration and assimilation produced the utopia you dream of? Nope.
The wide range of negatives are just too hard to hide... and pretending they don't exist doesn't work for long. Probably why the criticisms of multiculturalism on this thread are usually deflected rather than countered. And why most Western nations are hardening their positions on immigration, and the rights of migrant groups.
Still.. keep deflecting, Mark.. it suits you so well.
I think I was quite clear and concise in my post, do you have any specific question?
You seem to be accusing the government of not wanting a Polish judge because a Polish person wouldn't be "diverse enough". What kind of person would be diverse enough for the government? I'm starting to think this thread belongs in the Conspiracy Theories forum. We seem to have a government conspiracy theory here which the posters will hint at but seem reluctant to expand on.
This could be a good thing. An african judge, or better yet , a moslem judge may actually punish our criminals properly. Instead of suspended sentence, a full jail term in lieu of judicial amputation will be the sentence
We could yet have a finance minister that dropped out of DIT school of journalism yet
More likely the Kinahan National Boxing stadium,
Ill let Varadkar answer that
Oh dear 🤦♂️
Not Oh dear. If somebody meets the standards, and is not a token appointment, and is first loyal to Ireland, i can accept them in any position in ireland.
I really object to the tokenism of gender and racial quotas
amputation
Fortunately for you then, we have currently a number of judges from Afghanistan living here. Perhaps they will be the first to do some kind of add-on legal training and qualify to take up some of these positions.
Completely correct, our emergency services, defence forces and public servants should reflect the society they serve.
So what's the question then?
In Ireland there's an energy crisis, housing crisis, homeless crisis, poverty crisis, hospitals & schools are full, panic over rising "covid" cases and yet, politicians are fine with housing over 200,000 mostly unvaxxed refugees of all nationalities at the taxpayers expense. How?
You forgot the refugee dogs .
And you think Ireland is special in some way…… this is a humanitarian crisis on a scale not seen since the Second World War and everyone is trying to do what they can… if you can’t see beyond yourself interests that is up to you.
One can only hope they never do…. Entitled, self centered…… the last people you need in a crisis
First of all the Judiciary do not make the law, so expecting an judge to make it up as they go along is nonsense!
And secondly expecting a member of the Judiciary would skew their interpretation of the law along racial or religious law is insulting to them and just nonsense.
You really need to learn how the country is actually governed and avoid the sound bites.
We rely on our political structures to bring forward policies and then these policies and procedures are implemented by practitioners. For the wide legal area those practitioners are judges, lawyers etc.
Our Dept of Justice is headed up the Minister of Justice. Our Minister of Justice is Helen McAntee.
I'm just giggling to myself at that last sentence.
I'm not sure how you think having to do extra training is ignorant. Anyone coming from non -common law countries would have to do some further education. I'm well aware of the law thanks, and how it works, it's not that difficult.
that has obviously been discussed and decided, if they wish to have a more diverse judiciary. Education can be put in place.
The Russians are apparently "taking care" of those as their rations are running out
That's wrong on so many levels.
“Judges must have at least 10 years’ experience as a barrister or solicitor before being appointed to the District Court and at least 12 years’ experience before being appointed to the High Court, Court of Appeal or the Supreme Court. Usually they have many more years of experience before they are appointed.”
So somebody who has been a judge in Tanzania isn’t going to fly in looking to become a district court judge.
literally years of training is required to understand and become fluent in the machinations of Irish law.
there is no shortage of lawyers or solicitors here, literally people banging the door down to study law through the CAO system…
What 4 or 5 years? You do know you don't need a law degree right?
Sorcha is laying the groundwork for the new diverse Ireland...
I have to love the way these people arrive here and tell us how wonderful the new diverse Ireland will be....if it was happening in their own countries they wouldn't be too impressed..
"As Irish society becomes more diverse, this diversity will bring its own culture and history. The beauty of the diverse times ahead of this country is the organic osmosis of varied cultures."
RTE arent much better...its like the media have recieved some memo from the government..

A law degree is a prerequisite to becoming a judge here,
