General Council of the Bar of Ireland and by their families and fellow countrymen. Measured by any standard, this conference has been singularly successful. It has achieved new heights in meeting attendance and participation and in depth and breadth of programme content. In no small way this is directly due to the wide spread reputation of our Irish brothers for their hospitality, to the remarkable degree and the amount of advance planning by the Irish Plann ing Committee, and to the finesse and effective ness with which their plans have been so effectively executed.
