Dear Editor, Henry Barry's letter, 6th March, 1985, March Gazette, was quite interesting. During the Society's Centenary Celebrations research disclosed that my firm at 22 Denny Street, Tralee, was the oldest established Law Firm in the 32 Counties. (Francis Creagh Downing qualified in Easter Term, 1860.) When I joined it in 1950 it was then 4 F. & C. Downing' and I became a partner with the late Charles J. Downing, a Vice President of the Society (he had been a partner with his uncle, Francis Downing). I became the 'F' in the Firm then with Charlie Downing, continuing the trade as 'F. & C. Downing'. Following Charlie's death it became Downing, Grace and Courtney, is now Downing and Grace — hence I lost the title ' F' some years ago. My congratulations to Henry Barry and I wish his practice good luck into the 21st Century. Yours faithfully, Joseph Grace, Downing and Grace, Solicitors, 22 Denny Street, Tralee. P.S. Should I have another son I propose having him christened Downing F. Grace.
