N E W S N e w G u i d e t o I n v e s t i n g L a u n c h e d Unit fund investments, which account for more than £4 billion of Irish investors' savings, is the subject of a new guide recently launched by The Investment Bank of Ireland Limited (IBI). The new guide, which is called "A Toe in the Water - Your Guide to International Investment with Unit Funds" is designed to provide information on the range of options available, the costs involved and the various ways investors can access international markets. Commenting on the new guide, Harry Cassidy, Associate Director, IBI Investment Services Limited, said: "While unit funds are the easiest way for the majority of investors to access international markets, they can often seem complex and confusing. We've gone to great lengths, therefore, to make this guide as user-friendly as possible . . . keeping the information simple and to the point and, where possible, taking on board the views of our investors, who have helped us in compiling the guide." Members of the profession may obtain copies of the guide, free of charge, from IBI's offices in Dublin, Cork and Galway.

i Madeleine Rose Blake was a person of exceptional courage and tenacity who bore a long and protracted illness with a calm grace unknown to most. Madeleine refused to allow her illness to dampen her enthusiasm for and her love of life. Madeleine graduated from University College Galway with a B.A. (Hons) in Legal Science and Spanish in 1985 and an LL.B. degree in 1987. Her family had a great association with Galway and with University College Galway. She was very popular with her classmates and kept up her association with UCG as a Committee Member of the UCG Graduates Association. People were attracted to her by her warm smile and presence and she always chose to compromise rather than to conflict. She had a good grasp of the law and utilised her skills as a litigation practitioner in her family firm. She had little time for hyperbole and spoke her mind plainly, frankly and honestly. Those who were longwinded were politely reduced to brevity with a jovial down-to-earth comment. It is impossible to remain unaffected by her death. Her loss to her parents, Bruce and Grace and to her family is immeasurable. Her loss to her friends and to all who knew her is immense. • G.G. • Madeleine was a diplomat. She knew when to fight and when to negotiate.
