International Protection Bill 2026: Committee Stage
Dail Éireann — 2026-02-18
============================================================

Verona Murphy (CC), Wexford

I will read the note for the Deputy. It states: "Amendment No. 6 would insert a new definition for legal counselling, a term used later in the Bill, but this definition would provide that such services be provided to persons without charge to the applicant, irrespective of a person's ability to secure legal services by their own means." Unfortunately, that is where the money message comes in. It has been checked.
