Free Legal Advice Clinics
Looking for free legal advice in Ireland?
Community Law & Mediation’s free legal advice service is open to everyone. We provide free legal advice in Ireland in the areas of employment, equality, social welfare, housing, family, children’s law and environmental justice. General queries are also welcome.
So if you are having problems accessing your social welfare entitlements, if you are experiencing problems in the workplace, if you are dealing with envionmental harms such as dumping or air pollution, or if you are afraid of losing your home, we are here to help.
