Vol. 459 No. 8

Written Answers. - Advertising by Solicitors.

Eric J. Byrne

Ceist:

33 Mr. E. Byrne asked the Minister for Justice if her attention has been drawn to concerns at the proliferation of no-win no-fee advertising; her views on whether such advertising encourages spurious claims; the proposals, if any, she has to further regulate advertising by solicitors; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [18906/95]

Solicitors may advertise their services and the Law Society may prohibit advertising in certain circumstances under the provisions of the Solicitors Acts. I understand that the Law Society is reviewing generally its regulations relating to advertising. I have no proposals to further regulate advertising by solicitors.
