I know that, but I assumed with free legal aid youâd get the dregs representing you.
I think anyone in the SCC would receive free legal aid due to seriousness of the offence. He could then pick his legal representatives.

Not in the SCC. Also some top silks have an exclusively criminal practice and the pickings would be fairly slim if you didnât take legal aid

The top silk, Michael bowman, took in nearly 600k that year
He has a brother that earns substantially less putting in concrete floors.

Everyone up for murder gets free legal aid. The state have unlimited resources so it has to be a fair trial.
Pat Quirke is on Legal Aid too.
Correct.
It can be denied and that can be appealed to high court. Phelan SC mightnât get it

Glenamaddy leading the way.
Why shouldnât the best people be available on legal aid?
Like the public defender in My Cousin Vinny?
