THE PRESIDENT, addressing the meet
ing, said :—
Since I took office death has been busy in
the ranks of the Council, and we,
their
colleagues, mourn the loss of Mr. Frank
Fottrell, cut off in the prime of manhood ;
Mr. P. J. Byrne, of Carlow, and Mr. B. J.
O'Flaherty, both of riper years, but all
beloved by us.
These three members are
sadly missed, as each in his sphere had
experience, and were able
to assist
the
deliberations of
the Council with sound
advice as occasion arose.
We all express to those relatives whom our
three professional brethren have left behind
our sympathy in their loss and record of our
sorrow.
The vacant places on the Council have been
filled (according to our Statutes and Regula
tions) from the Supplemental List by Mr. W.
Henry, whom we welcome as returning to
the Council, Mr. Miley and Mr. O'Sullivan,
upon each of whom I am satisfied your
Council can rely for support in all their
lawful determinations.
The half-year has been an interesting and
busy time.
The Council have held eight
Ordinary Meetings and one Special Meeting,
and as you will recollect, it has fallen to my
lot to summon that rare but occasionally
useful assembly, a Special General Meeting
of the members of our Society, the occasion
for which I will refer to later.
