„The department was aware of a “crash course” presentation by a law firm informing barristers how they can maximise legal aid by assigning each prosecution in a different solicitor’s name from the same firm.
Based on sliding payment scales, the fee structure means legal aid cases take longer, cost more, incentivises solicitors to seek multiple hearings and “risks undermining public confidence in the value of legal aid”, the review said.“
Our wonderful legal profession folks…
Milking the system in our great revolving doors of justice.
Brothel-keeper realises there are easier, legal ways to screw money out of the public.
I got the shot gun. You got the briefcase. it’s all in the game, though, right?
Rather telling that they don’t go into any details as to how that fee arose – presumably by having to do a lot of work – and immediately shift to a separate point about maximising fees to imply something dodgy.
Whenever a representative from the law profession gets criticised for defending a particular client, you always hear the defence that “it’s just their job, they’re protecting the legal system in Ireland, making sure everyone gets a fair chance”.
Reality is all a lot of solicitors, barristers etc care about is money
Taxation is a scam, it’s about transferring your wealth to the friends of the state.
Can’t read the article but was this the person who was found to have made over €700k but is still entitled to free legal aid? Then the legal profession use it as a way to fleece the taxpayer. Great little country to do business
They are writing the rules and basis of their own salaries. Has this not always been the way with the elites in this country.
