Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Access to Justice and Legal Costs: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Fergal O'Leary:

We are in the middle of working our way through analysing how much time we spend trying to collect data to make evidence-based reforms versus getting the study done quickly. That is exactly the point we are at. We have spent the last couple of weeks getting on board some external experts to help us to do that quicker. The study is about halfway done and our indicative timetable is to have a report delivered to the Minister by the middle of next year.
