Justice Minister Jim O’Callaghan has stood by his comments that solicitors deliberately targeted rape cases in their protest over new criminal legal aid payment rules, as the dispute continues.
The panel examines the row between the Government and solicitors, the impact on vulnerable people awaiting legal representation, and concerns raised after 13 young people were reportedly unrepresented in the Children’s Court.
Presenter Shane Coleman was joined by:
Pádraig O’Sullivan TD, Fianna Fáil
Matt Carthy TD, Sinn Féin
Mary Carolan, Legal Affairs Correspondent, Irish Times
Michael Finucane, Solicitor
