There now seems to be no prospect of the Dáil passing the legislation to reform judicial appointments before the summer break
Debate on the bill had not finished in time for this week's block of votes, meaning it cannot be voted on until next Thursday
But that would only leave one week of time left to get it passed through committee, where dozens of amendments may follow.
Debate in the Dail has been continuing, with Fianna Fail's Thomas Byrne accusing hitting out at Sinn Féin for supporting the bill.
