Vol. 543 No. 2

Written Answers. - Legal Aid Service.

Bernard Allen

Question:

675 Mr. Allen asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if he will investigate a situation where an interview with the Legal Aid Board made by a person (details supplied) in County Cork will take up to 14 weeks. [26184/01]

The Deputy will be aware that under section 7(3) of the Civil Legal Aid Act, 1995, I am precluded from exercising any power or control in relation to any particular case with which the Legal Aid Board is or may be concerned. In the circumstances, the Deputy will appreciate, it would be inappropriate for me to comment upon this case. It is, of course, open to the Deputy to make direct contact with the Legal Aid Board in relation to this matter.
