LAB FAQS - Frequently Asked Questions

6. What happens if my case needs to be dealt with urgently?
If your case is urgent, it is possible to get an early appointment. The Board gives priority to certain cases, including cases concerned with:
>child abduction, both into and out of Ireland;
>childcare;
>domestic violence;
>statutory time limits, where the time for issuing proceedings may expire;
>rape / sexual assault cases where the issue of prior sexual history is being raised in a criminal case; and
>cases where one spouse may seek to take matrimonial proceedings in another country.

Your local law centre will advise you if your case is one that gets a priority service from the Board.
