Jerry Cronin is a sole practitioner, who was admitted to the Roll of Solicitors in 1983. He is the Southern Law Association nominee to the Council. He is currently Vice-President of the SLA, having been a member of it's Council since 1986 and its secretary for four years. He is concerned about the image of the profession and feels that it could benefit from more openness and accountability. He is also concerned about the numbers entering the profession and is disappointed that there has been no apparent move towards regulating this area. He would also like to see the Society expanding further the area of continuing legal education and providing more assistance in this and other areas to smaller practices in particular. Francis D.

Donald Binchy practises in the family | firm of O'Brien and Binchy in Clonmel and is newly elected to the Council. Following qualifying in 1987, he worked for a period in commercial law in a firm in Dublin, before returning home to the family practice in 1990. He is particularly pleased to serve on the Compensation Fund Committee during the coming year since the increasing volume of claims against the fund is a source of concern to the profession. While he is keen to represent the interests of the profession as a whole, he is especially keen to pursue the interests of the ever growing number of younger members.
