Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

General Scheme of the Multi-Party Actions Bill 2017: Discussion

9:00 am

Mr. Dave Coleman:

Legal aid follows it, really. The champerty should go. That is not because I got sued and I am not afraid of that. I am afraid that somebody else might not wish to do something in the interests of justice because of a fear of personal retribution. It is the wrong way to approach this and it must be dealt with. I am not part of the problem and I hope I am part of a solution.
