42. The Preamble to the Convention contains the following state-
ment:-
"Noting that in a great number of member states efforts
have been, or are being, made to improve the legal status of
children born out of wedlock by reducing the differences
between their legal status and that of children born in wed-
lock which are to the legal or social disadvantages of the
former.
Recognising that wide disparities in the laws of member
states in this field still exist.
Believing that the situation of children born out of wedlock
should be improved and that the formulation of certain
common rules concerning their legal status would assist this
objective and at the same time would contribute to a
harmonization of the laws of the member states in this field."

West Cork Bar
Association
ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
The Annual General Meeting of the West Cork Bar
Association was held at the Parkway Hotel, Dun-
manway, on Monday the 19th February, 1979. The
officers for the coming year are President, Mr. Edward
O'Driscoll, Vice-President, Mr. Hugh Ludlow, Secre-
tary/Treasurer, Mr. Michael Pattwell.
While the Agenda was long with many and varied
topics for discussion most of them were of local nature
and probably of little interest to readers of the Gazette.
However, the subject of Law Clerks remuneration was
discussed at length and the circular from the President
of the Incorporated Law Society dated the 19th January
and his follow up letter dated 24th January were read and
discussed. There was general agreement at the Meeting
that the following message should be communicated
immediately to the Director General of the Incorporated
Law Society: that our Assoication considered the new
rates as proposed - particularly the starting rate - a
deterrent to solicitors expanding their employment.
These rates will have the effect generally of reducing
employment in solicitors' offices. That we objected to the
large increase of 3 3 |% when our own rates had not
increased even by the amount proposed by the National
Prices Commission and despite the fact that our claim
was lodged in 1975.
It is also to be suggested that it is not proper that the
same rates should apply to employees outside Dublin as
to those living and working in Dublin.
A general dissatisfaction with the delay in the
Department of Justice resulting in the non-implementation
of increased costs was expressed.
A sub-committee of the Association, fonned recently
to examine new legislation, are to report to the next
meeting on the Sale of Goods and the Supply of Services
Bill, 1978.
