(1)These Regulations may be cited as the Civil Legal Aid Regulations 2021.
(2)The Civil Legal Aid Regulations 1996 to 2017 and these Regulations may be cited together as the Civil Legal Aid Regulations 1996 to 2021 and shall be construed together as one. 2. The Civil Legal Aid Regulations 1996 ( S.I. No. 273 of 1996 ) are amended – (

(11)The Board may provide legal aid to an applicant without reference to his or her financial resources if the legal aid to be provided to the applicant relates to an inquest to be held pursuant to a direction issued to the Dublin District Coroner on the 19th day of December 2019 into a death which occurred – (

EXPLANATORY NOTE (This note is not part of the Instrument and does not purport to be a legal interpretation.) The Civil Legal Aid Regulations 2021 will provide a statutory basis to allow for the provision of legal aid to the families of the 48 victims whose deaths resulted from the Stardust fire in 1981, irrespective of income eligibility or asset contribution limits. These regulations will only apply to the Stardust victims’ families in respect of the new inquests directed by the Attorney General on 19 December 2019.
