LIMERICK

21st To 23rd APRIL 1989

A large number of solicitors from all over the country attended the Spring Seminar of the Society of Young Solicitors at Limerick. Two of the speakers at the Seminar were solicitors who have recently published text books. Professor Bryan MeMahon spoke on Relevant Legal Aspects of 1992 and he, along with Finbarr Murphy, recently wrote the book European Community Law in Ireland. Mr. Robert Pierse gave his lecture on Bad Drinking Offences and his book The Law of Road Traffic in the Republic of Ireland was officially launched at the Seminar by the Honourable Mr. Justice Johnson. The book launch was attended by a large number of Mr. Pierse's family and many friends from County Kerry. Terence McCrann, Chairman of the SYS, welcomed the very first launch of a book at an SYS Seminar. Also in attendance was Peter R. Robinson of Butterworths, the publishers of both text books, and Michael V. O'Mahony the Junior Vice-President representing the Incorporated Law Society. The President of the Circuit Court, the Honourable Mr. Justice Roe, spoke on Sunday morning on the future of the Circuit Court and gave his views on a wide range of issues concerning the Circuit Court. Terence McCrann welcomed the representatives from other jurisdictions namely Brian Speers, Northern Ireland, Brian McBride, Scotland, and Colin Roe, England and Wales. He also announced that the Young Solicitors Groups from all of these jurisdictions would be having a joint Seminar with the SYS at Cork in March 1990. The major sponsor of the week- end was the Investment Bank of Ireland Limited. Other sponsors included Butterworth (Ireland) Limited and Law Placements.
