solicitors who attend at Garda

Stephen Maher
Family tradition and a deep interest
in the buildings at Blackhall Place
were the factors that motivated
newly-elected member,
Stephen
Maher,
to seek a seat on the Council.
His father, John Maher, served on
the Council for forty years and was
President of the Society in 1964-65,
while Stephen, himself, has been an
active member of the Premises
Committee for a number of years
and will serve as its Chairman this
year. "It is an issue of great
importance to me that members
would be satisfied with the facilities
available to them both at Blackhall
Place and in the Four Courts office,"
he says.
