Sir, - I understood "free legal aid" was only granted when one had proof of inability to pay legal costs. Why were Larry Goodman, Pat Rabbitte, Tomas MacGiolla, etc., etc. granted this - a very costly "free"?
Have the rules to qualify for free legal aid been changed/ reversed? If so, perhaps the Department of Justice would let the taxpayer know by putting a notice to that effect in the daily papers - or is that to be kept quiet took - Yours, etc.,
Ballinteer,
