Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions

Redressing the Imbalance Report: Free Legal Advice Centres

To add to that, what is provided for in the legislation is that the ombudsman may be a party to the High Court appeal. In our view it should not be an appeal to the High Court. What has happened in practice is that the ombudsman is the respondent in every High Court appeal and we have been involved in a few ourselves.
