Legal Services Regulatory Authority: Discussion
Ms Alison McIntyre:
Yes. That would be the means by which they would get the entitlement to provide legal services in the State. As Dr. Doherty mentioned in reply to another question, once the person is on the roll, other obligations are triggered. I refer, for example, to the payment of the levy. In Ireland, a person must have professional indemnity insurance in place at the time of the provision of the legal services. For example, a registered lawyer might be on the roll but not actively providing legal services in the jurisdiction at the time. Such a person would not have to have the professional indemnity insurance in place until such time as he or she is actually providing legal services.
