Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Home Affairs and Migration

General Scheme of the International Protection Bill 2025: Discussion

2:00 am

Ms Tracy O'Keeffe:

Under the current situation, somebody can apply to the Legal Aid Board for legal advice and legal aid. That will not change. If somebody has the means to engage their own legal advice, there is nothing to prevent that either. Legal counselling will be in addition to any legal advice that the applicant obtains.
