Legal aid should be available in employment appeals cases: FLAC

The Free Legal Advice Centres (FLAC) has used events around its 50th anniversary to call on the government to extend the areas in which legal aid can be granted, including employment appeals cases.

FLAC’s new office at 85/86 Dorset Street Upper in Dublin 1 will be officially opened this afternoon by President Michael D Higgins, who will unveil a ceremonial plaque in what is the first in a series of events this year to mark FLAC’s 50th anniversary.
