Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Legal Aid Board: Chairperson Designate

Ms Nuala Egan:

It may well be.

I have just been informed that I gave Senator Ruane an incorrect answer. I wish to correct what I said about solicitor’s fees. The solicitor scales are different for the Legal Aid Board and other entities. Our main concern is that they would not be and that they would be aligned. I apologise for giving the incorrect answer.
