Prominent barrister Remy Farrell SC is giving up criminal law because of low fee rates, according to reports.
Mr Farrell is one of a growing number of criminal lawyers who are switching entirely to civil work, The Sunday Times reports.
He has been involved in a number of high-profile criminal trials, including the Graham Dwyer murder trial in 2015 and the long-running Michael Lowry tax trial last year, since calling to the Bar in 1997 and the Inner Bar in 2011.
The Bar of Ireland recently warned that barristers could go on strike if the State does not consider pay restoration for prosecuting barristers.
