Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Legal Aid Board: Discussion with Chairman Designate (18 Jan 2017)

Clare Daly: I wish Mr. O'Leary the best of luck in his new position and thank him for attending. I do not have huge knowledge of the legal aid process, but where I have encountered it, I found it largely inaccessible. I have never met or represented anybody who managed to receive civil legal aid. That is the problem. Let us be clear about this. Most people cannot access civil legal aid. That...

Has the Minister noted...

Other Questions: Pyrite Remediation Programme (19 Jan 2017)

Clare Daly: I agree with the Minister of State as in my experience money is not the problem. The reason I tabled the question is there is a problem and thousands of homeowners whose properties have pyrite are being excluded from the scheme not just because of the manner in which it was established but because of the manner in which the board has chosen to interpret the conditions. I have had repeated...

Other Questions: Pyrite Remediation Programme (19 Jan 2017)

Other Questions: Pyrite Remediation Programme (19 Jan 2017)

Clare Daly: Green certificates.
