Criminal barristers have taken to the steps of Galway Courthouse in the city today - to hold a protest demanding the reversal of fee cuts introduced during the recession.
The last budget restored 10 percent, but the Bar of Ireland is calling for a full restoration of legal fees in Budget 2025.
It says no criminal trials will be heard today, and again next Wednesday, unless the Government commits to a full reversal.
This barrister told Galway Bay FM News that if things keep going the way they're going - our justice system will suffer serious consequences.
