Civil legal aid report

Summary

Andrews highlighted hardship while the Civil Legal Aid Committee’s report was pending. Cooney could not give a date but said the committee was working urgently.

Can the Minister say when the report from the Civil Legal Aid Committee will become available? He must be aware that in the meantime there is severe hardship in respect of the types of cases mentioned by Deputy Collins in his question.

I cannot say when the report will be available. The committee are aware of my anxiety to have the report as quickly as possible. I know they are working extremely hard on this matter and I have no doubt that they will report as soon as they are in a position to do so fully and competently.
