Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality
General Scheme of the Criminal Justice (Victims of Crime) (Amendment) Bill 2018: Discussion
Mr. Robert Purcell:
The only difficulty with using the 1995 Act is that one would then be limited to dealing with solicitors working within the Legal Aid Board, which is overstretched and only has phone lines open between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. There might be an issue with the board's ability to provide the service when it is already overstretched.
