THE PRESIDENT said : Before I go
into the notice of motion standing in my
name, I may mention that Mr. Davoren has
stated that he wishes to propose a resolution
of congratulation to Mr. Lloyd-George, and I
now ask him to propose that motion with the
permission of the meeting.
MR. DAVOREN :
With the leave of the
President and of the meeting, I propose :
"That this general meeting of the members
of the Incorporated Law Society of Ireland
desires to convey to the Right Hon. David
Lloyd-George its hearty congratulations on
his appointment to the office of Chancellor
of the Exchequer, and records its deep sense
of satisfaction at this high office being con–
ferred on a member of the solicitors' pro–
fession."
I shall trespass in as few words as possible
on your patience. It is the first time, I believe,
that a member of our profession has occupied
this very distinguished position, and
it
is
almost unprecedented that any person has
reached that position at such an early age as
Mr. Lloyd-George. When I add that this
position has been attained by him with the
universal assent of the whole community of
political opponents as well as political friends
in fact, of almost every interest in the State
I think his reaching that great office at such
an early age
is an event of no ordinary
importance (hear, hear).
It is for that reason
I have taken the opportunity of asking you,
with the permission of the President if you
see fit to pass this resolution. The distinction
