Criminal defense lawyers are staging a major protest against new legal aid fees, causing critical delays in high-stakes cases like rape and murder. A controversial flat fee of 520 euros—regardless of court appearances—is sparking outrage, with over 30 trials postponed in just two weeks at the Central Criminal Court. The Minister for Justice, Jim O’Callaghan, defends the reforms as essential for public access to justice, dismissing critics’ concerns as ignored or even unfair comparisons to Donald Trump. Despite mounting disruption and strain on the District Court system, the government shows no signs of backing down, especially with the legal term nearing its end.
