Lawyers Aren't Causing the Delays | Dublin News

These lawyers are the only private players keeping the system moving, often pressured by the state to postpone cases. Cutting their fees won’t fix systemic bottlenecks like evidence delays or forensic backlogs. Plus, these small firms are vital to the economy and struggling to survive on low pay and high stress. The Minister should pause, listen to frontline practitioners, and stop blaming lawyers for problems they didn’t create.
