353. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if there is any protocol in place, or if she plans to issue any protocol, to ensure that in cases in which a person who is incarcerated submits a complaint alleging serious malpractice on the part of a solicitor to the Law Society and further alleging that the actions of that solicitor had a bearing on the person being convicted of a crime and sentenced to prison, those cases are given priority or expedited; and her plans to instruct the Law Society to process and decide on such cases within a specified timeframe, given that in such cases a person's liberty is at stake and continued incarceration due to delays in processing of such cases may be a breach of human rights.
