摘要：
The Irish Civil Legal Aid Act 1995 allows a broad approach to civil legal aid, but cultural legacies distort civil legal aid towards legal remedies on marital breakdown. The genesis of the symbiotic relationship between civil legal aid and family law is explored through in-depth examination of archival materials related to Airey v Ireland, while modern day qualitative interviews with Legal Aid Board workers investigate how entrenched this distortion towards marital breakdown remains and how it manifests. This Irish experience demonstrates the need to consider how legal aid is dependent on and informed by other substantive areas of law, and the potential for certain legal areas to dominate, distorting national legal aid provision and discourse.
