Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality
Access to Justice and Legal Costs: Discussion (Resumed)
Dr. Brian Doherty:
Another theme is probate, which seems to be attracting a large number of complaints. We have received complaints in regard to a number of parties who may be putting themselves forward as barristers but who are not on the roll of practising barristers and may be exploiting members of the immigrant community who are very vulnerable. We have also received complaints in regard to the non-payment of barristers. I would caveat all of that with the point that all of this is based on data since 7 October. We will report in full on 7 April.
