Carol Nolan doesn't believes money is not being spent wisely by government.
Expenditure for legal aid in international protection cases is up by 429% since 2020.
The Justice Department figures show over €20.7 million has been spent by the government for legal aid in international protection cases over the past five years.
These figures cover only non-pay costs and exclude staff salaries and other general operating costs of the Legal Aid Board’s law centres.
