That's interesting.
I tried to get a few barristers to quote me for a question on a pretty abstract point of law, no litigation involved.
They all either didn't get back to me or refused!

Not all barristers provide the DPA service.
Thank you, I was aware of this but didn't want to add fuel to the fire so to speak , indeed Barrister's and SC list wether they can engage through direct access on the law society website. In my own case , I went through my solicitor.For completeness:
Barristers can take instructions from clients directly in certain circumstances without the client having to go through a Solicitor.
Our Direct Professional Access Scheme - Law Library
Being an Approved Body means that entities can access a barrister directly for legal assistance in non-contentious matters - legal opinions - without having to go through an instructing solicitor. Services accessed under the scheme do not include litigation services (e.g. court proceedings).www.lawlibrary.ie
In all honesty I was aware if this , but didn't want to go off topic and unfortunately there was an effort to deflect from my initial OP . But it is worth noting access is not available in all cases and individual Barristers and SC state this on their profiles .
I'm not sure when direct access rules changed but more likely after you had attempted to seek advice
That is correct
