Seamus Woulfe's Position As Supreme Court Judge 'Untenable', According To Sinn Féin
The Attorney General has been asked to advise the government on what to do amid a standoff among the judiciary.
Opposition politicians have been more cautious in their comments today as potential impeachment proceedings loom.
But Sinn Féin's justice Spokesman, Martin Kenny, says the responsibility here is clear:
"Well, we're saying that his position is clearly untenable when he has lost the confidence of his colleagues in the judiciary and the Chief Justice, and that's clearly what they have said.
Now, it's up to him to come forward with a solution to this or alternatively it's back to the people here in the Oireachtas to come up with a solution to this. And we look to something progressive in the coming days or at least sooner."
