397. Deputy Charlie McConalogue asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the number of hours available for family mediation at the Letterkenny, County Donegal branch of the Family Mediation Service; the number of families on the waiting list at this branch; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [15256/15]
View answerThe Letterkenny office of the Family Mediation Service provides 16 hours of mediation, Monday and Tuesday 9-5 p.m. The office is opened for administration on Wednesday from 9-12.30 p.m. These are the advertised hours, as per the Legal Aid Board website. I would also refer the Deputy to my response to Question Nos. 360, 361, 362 and 367 of Wednesday, 15 April 2015 where I stated that the number of couples on the waiting list in the Letterkenny family mediation office is currently 17.
