The Irish Times has called on solicitors involved in the legal aid dispute to end it now. Its editorial says the standoff has gone on long enough and should be brought to an end. The paper directs that message squarely at solicitors, rather than leaving the dispute to continue without a resolution. The article also points to the larger need for reform of the legal aid system. Jim O’Callaghan is told that he still has time to show he has the stomach to pursue bigger reforms. Ending the immediate dispute is presented as a practical step toward making the wider reform agenda possible.
