Ireland’s chief justice hosted a meeting of some of the EU’s most senior judges at Dublin’s Farmleigh House yesterday.
Chief Justice Donal O’Donnell hosted a meeting of the board of the Network of the Presidents of the Supreme Judicial Courts of the European Union.
The network is an organisation made up of the presidents of the supreme judicial courts of all EU member states. The presidents of the supreme courts of the United Kingdom, Norway, Liechtenstein and Iceland are included as associate members, while Albania, Montenegro, Serbia and Ukraine are observers.
The purpose of the network is to provide a forum through which the court presidents can meet and discuss issues of common interest and exchange ideas. It also acts as an avenue through which European institutions can consult with EU supreme courts.
