John Costello

While employed by the Civil Service in the Estate Duty Office, Michael Carroll studied for a BL and was called to the Bar in 1973. However, he then decided to embark on a career as a solicitor and was admitted to the Roll in 1978. Since 1984 he has worked in the Solicitors' Office in CIE and is now Group Solicitor heading a team of nine solicitors and a support staff of twenty seven. He says he is interested in promoting high professional standards, thereby increasing public confidence in the profession. He is also in favour of the creation of an orderly procedure for the qualification of solicitors. He hopes that, as a solicitor working for a large corporation, he can offer a useful perspective during debates on policy at Council meetings.

John Costello was admitted to the Roll of Solicitors in 1977 and practises in the firm of Eugene F. Collins. He says his primary motivation in seeking election to the Council was to improve the image of the profession. In particular, he feels that the public does not appreciate the wide range of services offered by solicitors. He also wants to represent the interests of solicitors, particularly in relation to the Compensation Fund and is concerned about the problem of overcrowding in the profession. Successfully elected to Council on his second attempt, he says he is particularly grateful to all those who supported him in the ballot.
