Gerard Doherty, prior to his election to Council this year, had already clocked up four years' experience on the Council as a DSBA nominee and served as Chairman of the Litigation Committee from 1990 to 1993. He says he is disturbed by current trends in personal injuries litigation and is committed to ensuring that the Society opposes any proposal to cap personal injuries awards. This year he will serve as chairman of the Law Clerks Joint Labour Committee and as Vice- Chairman of the Professional Purposes Committee. He is joint principal of the firm O'Reilly Doherty which also employs two solicitors.

James McCourt, who is a former chairman of the Society of Young Solicitors, practises in the firm of George D. Fottrell & Sons and is one of the DSBA nominees to Council for the year 1993/94. As a member of the PR Committee for the coming year he is anxious to address the public relations image of the profession. He is very concerned about the proposal to cap personal injuries awards and will be encouraging the Society to resist it by every means. He is also interested in the area of legal education and believes that the Society must arrive at a definitive policy on admissions which will deal with the issue of numbers wishing to enter the profession. James McCourt says the policing role of the Society is also important and that more must be done to identify solicitors who are in difficulty before default occurs.
