456. To ask the Minister for Justice and Equality if legal aid granted in respect of a family law matter in 2013 would now still encompass ongoing legal aid for the enforcement of, or matters arising directly from, an order made in 2013; if there is any discretionary basis for the granting of a legal aid certificate in respect of a family law matter to a person who does not currently qualify under the relevant means test but who did previously qualify when a directly related matter was before the courts in 2013; if there is any discretionary basis for the granting of legal aid in respect of a family law matter where the applicant does not currently qualify under the relevant means test but where the current matter arises directly out of the enforcement of a court order made in 2013 in respect of which the person had the benefit of legal aid; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

I am having inquires made of the Legal Aid Board regarding this matter and I will respond to the Deputy in the near future.
