I just wondered if there is any mechanism in place whereby I can lodge a complaint about the conduct of a judge during a hearing in the circuit court.

I'm not appealing a judgement I am questioning the behaviour of the judge who was blatantly biased,rolled her eyes and sighed during my evidence.This was a family law court a very distressing situation at any time but when you have been subjected to physical abuse in a relationship you don't expect emotional abuse from the judgePresumably you can appeal to the High Court?
What happened?
This was a family law case about access with grandparents.These are the parents of the abuser.I was told that I was the root cause of the problem and I must hand my son over for access visits with them.I was told that I couldn't be believed.I feel battered with no possibility of justice considering there is every chance I will meet this judge again.This is the second section 47 ordered which are incredibly expensive.I am a. broken person today.it's almost impossible to complain about a judge in Ireland, they are close to being above the law and can only be removed via Dail Eireann. There were plans to set up a judicial complaints commission but I don't think it's been implemented. I'm presuming you lost your case so rather then complain about the judges behavior you should be looking to see if you can appeal the decision and use the judges behavior as grounds for appeal.
It's much more complicated than thatCurious Cat.
From the thread it seems ?
This case is over access by Grandparents to see grandchild(ren).
Could it be that you don,t want access by them because they are parents of the abuser?
If so, then I would think Judge is correct ?, in that grandparents are surely entitled to see grandchild and cant be blamed for the (sins of the son) .
If I have read this wrongly , sorry.
