Statistical Annual Report for 2005 FLAC Data Collection Programme

FLAC is an independent human rights organisation dedicated to the realisation of equal access to justice for all. It campaigns through advocacy, strategic litigation and authoritative analysis for the eradication of social and economic exclusion. The core of what FLAC seeks is equal access to justice for all. That includes access to lawyers, legal advice and representation. This can make significant contribution to the eradication of social and economic exclusion.

To achieve those aims, it is essential for FLAC to have an accurate picture of the legal needs of its callers. With the view to having uniform records and statistics of the overall work of its centres, FLAC continues to promote its Data Collection Programme1. The information collected from FLAC's network of centres is intended to assist FLAC in its development and in its ongoing research and campaigning efforts to improve the provision of State civil legal aid and access to justice in Ireland.
