Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Access to Justice and Legal Costs: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Rebecca Keatinge:

Consistency would add to efficient resolution of disputes and make the process ultimately more accessible and much more cost effective for people.

We have all spoken to the law reform piece. We were before the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government in June and gave recommendations on family homelessness. It is through our accumulated experience of deficiencies in the current legal framework that we are able to bring recommendations that were included in the committee's report from November. All the recommendations we made are now in that report. There is real value in that in bringing about broader, more structural change in the specific practice areas in which we are involved.
