Bethany Home survivor Derek Leinster 'highly concerned' by legal delays as State seeks more time to respond to case, orlaryan reports

Derek Leinster Image: PA Images Derek Leinster Image: PA Images LAWYERS REPRESENTING THE Irish State have sought more time to respond to legal proceedings lodged by Bethany Home survivor Derek Leinster.

Leinster, who was born in Bethany Home in Dublin in 1941, is taking legal proceedings against the Irish State, the Minister for Children and the Attorney General. Donnelly said, if the High Court agrees with the State’s view on the statute of limitations during a future hearing, this could result in a “very significant saving of time, cost and resources” for both sides.Céile Varley BL, representing Leinster on behalf of the The Free Legal Advice Centre , told the court she could not consent to an extension being given to the State as Leinster is “an elderly man in poor health”.

He listed both issues for mention at the High Court on 20 June but noted it is “unlikely” they will be heard on that date. “It is a big ask that one or both will be heard on that date,” he said, but added that at least they can “move forward”. #Open journalism No news is bad news Support The Journal Your contributions will help us continue to deliver the stories that are important to you“I’m not going to settle unless I get the right deal, even if it means I don’t get the deal before I die.
