The body which represents solicitors will warn politicians today that the management of the numbers attending court is becoming an "immediate concern." The Law Society of Ireland will highlight to the Special Oireachtas Committee on Covid-19 today the need for the efficient and safe management of numbers of people attending courts.
In an opening statement, the President of the organisation Michele O'Boyle warns that out that some courts, in particular some District Courts, remain crowded.
Ms O'Boyle will also say there is a need for clearer communication from Government on the Covid-19 restrictions. She will tell politicians that there are lessons to be learned should a similar crisis happen again some issues could be better addressed.
