Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality
General Scheme of the Criminal Justice (Victims of Crime) (Amendment) Bill 2018: Discussion
Ms Caroline Counihan:
We have never studied or surveyed the issue, but from what people have told me, that is part of the issue. Reports have also reached me that people in distress have needed advice, but were not able to access it quickly. Again, I stress I mean no criticism of the Legal Aid Board or any solicitor. Sometimes these things happen. Sometimes victims are able to get hold of somebody like me much more quickly.
