Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality
Access to Justice and Legal Costs: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Rebecca Keatinge:
Some councils do not include an appeals mechanism and it is often extremely difficult to engage a local authority. I think the points that Ms Wall made about cost saving were well put. We sometimes get referrals from local authorities because we can expedite the process of resolving a difficulty and advise somebody as to how the scheme operates, why they cannot get an entitlement or how they can go about that. We can ease that process.
