free legal advice centres (flac)
Provides legal advice to those who otherwise cannot afford it, focusing on those who don’t fully understand the legal system or their rights. Funding helps provide training for volunteer advisors and increases access to the law for citizens in rural areas.

"We provide free, confidential advice through our telephone information line and referral line, and through a network of part-time legal advice centres nationwide, operated by volunteer lawyers. The American Ireland Fund has enabled us to provide information and training seminars for these lawyers.”
