    Gilligan was appointed to the High Court in 2003.[1] He managed the Chancery division of the court for several years.[5] He oversaw proceedings related to the occupation and demolition of Apollo House, Dublin, and claims arising out of the Morris Tribunal.[4]

    He was a member of the Judicial Appointments Review Committee and served as President of the European Network of Councils for the Judiciary.[6] He advised the judiciary of Bosnia-Herzegovina on the establishment of a judicial council.[5]
