Access to Justice and Legal Costs: Discussion

We will tell the Department that it should be looking at it too because it is not. Who is the person who should be looking at this or which body should do this? I do not believe that it should be the Law Society, the Bar Council or the Free Legal Advice Centres because that is not their role. Maybe the Department or the Legal Aid Board should be. Somebody should be looking at it. One thing that has to come out of our hearings here is some structure about how things are looked at. Rather than bring in more laws in future, we might look at how the laws we have are working and change how they work instead. Maybe people have suggestions.
