be taken in hands at once by the new Council,
so
that a repetition of what had been
mentioned would not occur again.
THE PRESIDENT said he was very glad
that Mr. 0 h-Uadhaigh had raised
this
question. He might take it as the official
view of the Council that every facility should
be afforded to professional advisers in cases
of this kind. This was not an entirely new
matter, because Mr. Wakely and he had
brought under the personal notice of a very
prominent member of the Government this
question of giving facilities to members of
the Society to interview their clients who
happened to be in prison.
The Council
would always be most zealous of that right.
He was sorry that the matter had not been
brought to his notice last Thursday morning,
when they would have brought the matter to
the notice of the Provisional Government.
He agreed with Mr. Brady that it would
have been a very desirable thing to have an
opportunity of consulting the Society as a
whole with reference to the nominations to
the Senate, but owing to the short time at
their disposal it was impossible to do so, and
the Council had acted in the matter on behalf
of the Society.
The resolution adopting the Report was
then passed.
Mr. ORR (Vice-President) having taken
the second chair, a cordial vote of thanks
was passed to the President, on the motion
of Sir George Roche, seconded by Mr. Bate,
and the President returned thanks.
