Will you support the #Right2Justice in Ireland today?

22 January 2020

FLAC Manifesto for Civil Legal Aid 2020 22.01.20

In order to ensure that there is access to justice for everybody, we need a root and branch review of the legal aid system.

Access to justice includes being able to access the courts. The allocation of required funding for the establishment of dedicated and integrated Family and Children’s Courts in Hammond Lane, Dublin and around the country must be prioritised.

We are asking general election candidates to sign our pledge to say they are backing legal aid if they are elected to the Dáil.

        If I’m elected I will support a #Right2Justice by;

  • Working to ensure adequate resources are given to provide civil legal aid, and seeking a root and branch review of the system. 
  • Recognising that a properly functioning and accessible courts system, including properly resourced family law courts, is essential to providing access to justice.
