Edit request: President of the High Court dates

Latest comment: 5 days ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The user below has a request that an edit be made to Frederick Morris. That user has an actual or apparent conflict of interest.
The requested edits backlog is very high. Please be extremely patient. There are currently 903 requests waiting for review.

Please read the instructions for the parameters used by this template for accepting and declining them, and review the request below and make the edit if it is well sourced, neutral, and follows other Wikipedia guidelines and policies. Remember to set the |answered= parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input.

I am a paid editor for Vizlegal (disclosed on my user page), so I'm requesting this rather than making it.

The infobox gives his term as President of the High Court as 1 July 1998 – 24 April 2001, and the same end date for his time as a High Court judge. Two Dáil written answers give different dates:

15 November 2000, listing appointments to the offices of Chief Justice and the court presidents: "Frederick Morris (President of the High Court) 14.01.1998".^[1]
4 March 2008, listing judges who retired since 1995 and their retirement dates: "Frederick Morris 01/12/2001".^[2]

The retirement date is his 72nd birthday (born 1 December 1929, per the article), the statutory retirement age, and the January 1998 start follows his nomination reported in December 1997, which the article already cites.

Please change:

term_start = 1 July 1998 → term_start = 14 January 1998
term_end = 24 April 2001 → term_end = 1 December 2001
term_end1 = 24 April 2001 → term_end1 = 1 December 2001

with the two sources above. Thanks, Jcsrbvl (talk) 15:06, 28 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
