Vol. 564 No. 5
385 Mr. Wall asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the waiting time for a person for free legal aid at the Kildare Centre, Newbridge, County Kildare; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9570/03]
The information as requested by the Deputy in relation to waiting times for legal services at the Kildare Centre, Newbridge, County Kildare, is outlined below.
As at 28 February 2003, the length of time the person longest on the waiting list has waited for legal services at the Newbridge law centre, is 3.75 months.
I can inform the Deputy that the Legal Aid Board does not routinely collect information relating to an average waiting time for people seeking its services. However, it does record the length of time the person longest on the waiting list has waited, hence the information supplied to the Deputy.
