On Wednesday 25th January 2017 members of The Bar of Ireland held an information day for TDs and Senators in the AV Room of Leinster House.
Information packs were distributed outlining the position of the Bar on a number of key policy issues including motor insurance premiums and judicial appointments. The pack also contained useful information on pro bono at the Bar, how legal fees work, the cost-effectiveness of the Irish legal system and the new costs regime and the Office of the Legal Costs Adjudicator.
Members met with a large number of TDs and Senators throughout the day with a good representation from a cross-section of political parties. The information pack was very well received and follow up meetings with the various parties will be arranged in the coming months.
