Minister Naughton announces changes to Civil Legal Aid eligibility
Review of Civil Legal Aid Scheme commencing this year.
The Minister of State with special responsibility for Civil and Criminal Justice, Hildegarde Naughton, TD, has today announced positive changes to the eligibility criteria for the Civil Legal Aid Scheme.
“
I am pleased to announce that the Legal Aid Board will no longer include the Housing Assistance Payment in their calculation of entitlement to civil legal aid”.
“This will have a positive impact for families and individuals who are of modest means and are in receipt of HAP or any other housing support measure provided by a Department of State or any other public body. This will no longer be an impediment to them accessing legal advice and representation where the other criteria of the scheme are met.”

Statement by the Minister for Justice, Heather Humphreys TD, on the 47
th Anniversary of the Dublin-Monaghan bombings
It was forty seven years ago today that three bombs exploded around Dublin in the busy evening rush hour. Another bomb exploded about 90 minutes later in Monaghan Town. These ruthless bombings were the greatest loss of life in a single day of the troubles and showed a complete disregard for human life.
Unfortunately, as was the case last year, it is not possible to hold a comprehensive remembrance ceremony this year, but we must still use this day to remember all those who lost their lives in the bombings, those who were injured, and all those affected by the bombs. Such a large scale tragic loss of life continues to affect countless families.
