McCormack, L. F. Branigan. The President addressed the meeting as follows: I am very pleased that this is such a well represented meeting. There is always a danger in large countrywide organisations whether they be vocational groups, political parties or trade unions that the members and local branches, in our case Bar Associations, lose contact with the parent body, which in turn gives rise to discontent and sometimes feelings of great dissatisfaction.
