Legal Services Regulation Bill 2011: Report Stage
10:30 am
Frances Fitzgerald (Dublin Mid West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
I make the point again that it will be a new independent body set up to provide for independent regulation. It will have a range of tasks to perform in its first year. It will have to deal with complaints and set itself up as an effective and efficient body. There is a range of tasks which we are asking it to do. I have looked at what it is feasible to do in the first period and do not want to overcrowd the LRSA with work. The two professions will need to take account of the developments being enabled by the Bill, particularly the roll-out of the new legal business models.
