Prison visit fees
In January 1999, the Criminal Law Committee advised practitioners that the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform intended to introduce a new procedure for claiming prison visit fees, effective from 1 October 1999.
The department has confirmed that the new system is now in place. Practitioners are reminded that claim forms for prison visits will be available in book format at the main gate of each prison. Each form is individually numbered and a carbon copy is attached. This allows the form to be completed by the solicitor and certified and stamped by a prison officer. A copy of each claim form will be retained in the prison for reference purposes.
The solicitor should take his or her copy of the claim form, insert the bill number and the legal aid certificate number and forward the form to Finance Division, Department of Justice, Killarney for payment.
Claim forms are not available from Finance Division, Killarney.
