Solicitors at Cavan Circuit Court withdrew their services today, as part of an ongoing dispute with the Department of Justice, Northern Sound understands.
It follows on from solicitors withdrawing services from Monaghan District Court yesterday, and Cavan District Court last week.
Thousands of criminal cases in courts across the State were unable to proceed from the middle of last week.
The solicitors are protesting over the introduction of a flat fee per client regardless of the number of hearings involved in a case.
Most defendant solicitors are paid each time they appear for a client in a district court, but, from 1 July, the Department of Justice is replacing this system with a flat-fee model.
Currently, a solicitor is paid for each court appearance, starting at €239.38, and then €59.86 for each subsequent hearing.
From 1 July, a new set fee of €455 will be payable regardless of how many court appearances there are.
