Vote will take place on May 24th, the same date as the local and European elections

The government has announced the establishment of the referendum commission for the upcoming vote on reducing the waiting time for a divorce from four years to two.

Under the proposed legislation, which will need a constitutional referendum to pass in order to be enacted, the time spent living apart by couples before becoming eligible for divorce will be cut from four years out of the preceding five to two years out of the previous three.

Ms Justice Burns was appointed to the high court in 2018 and is currently assigned to the special criminal court.
