Ms Eilis Barry:

Housing and homelessness are probably the biggest areas of unmet legal need. The Legal Aid Board, by and large, does not deal with housing or homelessness. It is an area that is just not being addressed. A small number of independent law centres are trying to deal with it, but it is way beyond our capacity at the moment. That is before the eviction ban is lifted, so it is something we would view with grave concern.
