Reading time: 1 minute
Criminal lawyers in Meath are reportedly staging a local withdrawal of services tomorrow due to a dispute over legal aid payments.
The one-day withdrawal at Trim District Court was announced in court last week, local radio station LMFM reports.
Solicitor Maurice Regan told the court that practitioners “can’t continue to represent clients when not being paid for our services”.
According to LMFM, Judge Éirinn McKiernan said: “I’m very sorry the situation has arisen. It’s extremely unfortunate.
“Everybody has to be paid for the work they do.”
