108 Mr. Killeen asked the Minister for Justice if she will allocate an annual grant to the Refugee Legal Advisory Service. [12001/95]
The Refugee Legal Advisory Service is a member of the Irish Refugee Council and is, I understand, a small group of lawyers who provide legal assistance to asylum seekers. While I have no plans at present to provide a grant to the refugee legal advisory service, I would inform the Deputy that the question of funding for the provision of legal assistance to asylum seekers is currently under consideration in the context of the Regugee Bill.
