recently qualified, with a view to reviewing the content of the course. He was conscious of the employment problems and the younger members had their own Committee within the umbrella of the Council. A suggestion had been made that there should be a minimum salary for persons entering into employment in the profession. While excellent in theory, the suggestion might result in disemployment in the present climate. To Mr. Farrell, the President pointed out that there was a statutory obligation to have a Compensation Fund. Last year, there had been a major claim and the Council was watching others. The Society has an insurance cover on the Compensation Fund and, in the case of the present claims, the cover saved the profession approximately £800,000. It was obvious that after the major claims the level of premium and of cover would have to be reviewed. Mr. O'Mahony complimented the President on the detailed figures which had been circulated, but he asked if it would be a good idea to adjourn the meeting for a month to get further information and think out ideas to help the Council. Mr. Curneen thanked the President for his approach to the meeting. To him, it appeared that the situation was in good hands and he did not want anything more done. Mr. Cumeen's remarks were greeted with applause. Mr. Crivon agreed with Mr. Curneen and said that the meeting had produced information which had never before been put before members in General Meeting. A list of those members who attended the Special General Meeting is filed with the Minutes of the meeting, together with Mr. O'Mahony's notes circulated to the attendance and the information circulated by the President. • U.C.G. Graduates Association At a meeting of UCG graduates in Dublin recently it was decided to form an association of graduates with the support of UCG. Further branches of this Association — Cumann Céimithe na Gaillimhe — will be set up in Limerick, Sligo, Athlone, Cork and Galway within the next few months. The primary aim of Cumann Céimithe na Gaillimhe is to foster and maintain closer links between UCG and her graduates and between the graduates themselves.

Unlessyou really prefer tobankwith amachine! Here are just a few reasons why you may not wish to have a deposit account at Anglo Irish. You may prefer a bank so big that you're identified as a ten digit number but seldom recognised for yourself. You may prefer a bank that shuts its doors during the one hour of the day you can conveniently get to the bank. And offers, instead, a machine for you to queue at. On the other hand, you may prefer a bank that's small enough to offer you personal service, that stays open at lunch, that's backed by over £60 million in assets and pays top interest rates on deposit accounts. In which case you're probably already banking with Anglo Irish. ANGLO IRISH BANK The biggest little bank in Ireland. 35, St. Stephen's Green, Dublin, 2.
