Government to fill High Court vacancy
The Government has nominated barrister Nuala Butler to serve as a judge of the High Court.
There had been a vacancy on the court after the appointment of Ms Justice Teresa Pilkington to the Court of Appeal earlier this month.
Joined Bar in 1986
Educated at UCD and King’s Inns, Ms Butler joined the Bar in 1986 and the Inner Bar in 2003.
She has served as a member of the Employment Appeals Tribunal, as chair of the Mining Board, and as chair of the Incorporated Council of Law Reporting for Ireland.
The nomination now goes to President Higgins, who appoints judges on the advice of the Government.
