GAZETTE

JULY/AUGUST 1985

Before concluding, I would like to turn to one sad and serious matter. A week ago to-day, Sgt. Morrissey was shot dead in the course of his duty. This is the first public occasion on which I have spoken since his death, and I want to take this opportunity to convey the deepest sympathy of the Incorporated Law Society of Ireland and its members to the family of Sgt. Morrissey. I wish also to pass this message on to the Commissioner of the Gardai Siochana and to the Association of Garda Sergeants and Inspectors. In doing so, I would like to convey to them the condemnation of the Solicitors' Profession of this brutal killing, and our support for the Gardai Siochana in doing their duty which often involves difficult and dangerous work. Finally, it gives me real pleasure, on behalf of the Council of the Incorporated Law Society of Ireland, to congratualte you all, and to welcome you to the profession. I hope that you will find your work as a Solicitor interesting and rewarding, and that you w ; n serve the public with conscientiousness, humanity and efficiency. I hope too that those who have given such support to you will feel that it has all been worth while. •

are investigating the possibility of arranging for Companies Office Searches to be dealt with by way of Telex, and this could greatly relieve the present frustration for the public and for the profession. As I said earlier in this Address, we live in changing times, and we in the Law Society are anxious to move with, or ahead of those times, provided that such progress is in the interests of the public and ourselves, and does not affect the fundamental values which we as Solicitors hold. As an example of this, we have been pressing for over a year now for legislation to involve lay people in the Committees we have which deal with complaints. As the newest members of this profession, we look to you for positive ideas and support, just as we hope that you will look to us for guidance in some situations, where the experience of older members is irreplaceable, but it is essential for all of us to keep considering and reflecting on changes which will be of benefit, both in large and small matters. As a result of becoming Solicitors to-day, a fee will have to be paid for your Practising Certificate. It would not surprise me if within a few years time that fee will be paid by Credit Card, and the same could well apply to costs charged to clients by Solicitors.
