Written Answers. - Legal Aid Service.
The Legal Aid Board provides legal services in civil matters in south Tipperary from a part-time law centre located in Clonmel, which operates out of the Citizens Information Centre, Market Place Shopping Centre, Emmet Street. The Clonmel Law Centre is serviced by a solicitor from the full-time law centre at Nenagh and is open on the first, second and third Monday of every month. In addition there are full-time law centres at Waterford, Limerick and Kilkenny.
The Legal Aid Board has no plans to open a full-time law centre in south Tipperary. However, the matter will be kept under review and will be considered further in the light of any future proposals to develop and expand the service.
