Free legal representation

Mercy Law Resource Centre provides free legal representation on homelessness, and social housing law. We provide free legal advice at outreach clinics staffed by MLRC solicitors. We currently operate a fortnightly clinic in the Carmelite Community Centre, Aungier Street, Dublin 2 as well as occasional clinics with partner organisations at other locations. Please contact the office for more information. The phone line is currently open from 10am to 12 noon daily. 

We regret that it is not always possible for us to provide clinic appointments or legal assistance to all who request it. We take on clients after considering the following: whether the case falls into our priority areas of work and/or the strategic importance of the case and its potential impact on our client group, the geographical area, and our own resources and capacity. Our current priority areas are:

• Access to emergency homeless accommodation for families and vulnerable individuals;
• Access to the social housing list, in particular for individuals and families who are homeless or who are at risk of homelessness.
