Full story

Ireland’s minister has agreed to meet with the Law Society in an attempt to resolve a dispute involving solicitors. The commitment was announced while the minister was being questioned by TDs at the Oireachtas Justice Committee. That session provided an opportunity for elected representatives to press the minister on the matter. A face-to-face meeting would allow the government and the professional body to exchange positions on the dispute. The stated purpose is to find a negotiated resolution rather than allow the conflict to continue. The short report did not identify the minister, list the disputed issues, or provide a date for the meeting.

The minister is currently being quizzed by TDs at the Oireachtas Justice Committee.
