YMC raises £3,000 for

Solicitors Benevolent

Association

The Y MC has completed the

annual programme of events in aid

of the Solicitors Benevolent Fund,

and has raised £3,000 for the fund.

T he p r og r amme of even ts

consisted of a series of table quizes

in Cork, Limerick, Kilkenny and

Dublin and the annual soccer blitz

which featured in the June

Gazette.

The grand final held in Dun

Laoghaire was attended by the

winners of the Cork and Kilkenny

regional quizes. For the second year

running the Kilkenny team took first

place and once again proved their

generosity by redonating their

winnings to the fund. Further

generous gestures come from

Dowling Butler and Co. (second

place) and Arthur Cox & Co. (third

place). As tradition would have it,

the final was hosted by Gerry

Griffin and Mrs. Moya Quinlan both

of wh om con t r i bu t ed to the

s uc c e ss of the event.

Many t h a n ks to the Irish

Permanent Building Society for

their sponsorship, to the sponsors

of the raffle prizes particularly Alan

Benson of Easy Travel and finally to

Sandra Fisher, Colette Carey and

the Younger Members Committee.

Limer ick Quiz

The Limerick Quiz took place in

J ur y 's Hotel on Thursday 5th April.

There were thirty four teams repre-

senting all aspects of Limerick

Business Life. Whilst the Irish

Permanent Building Society was

the Na t i onal s pon s o rs in all

locations throughout the country,

local sponsorship was also exceed-

ingly generous. J u r y 's donated the

use of their function room free and

Pat Enright, Solicitor (William A Lee

& Sons) was exceptional once

again as Quiz-Master. Bord Telecom

and Limerick Corporation tied for

first prize and the Revenue

Commissions came a close second.

The Westair Helicopter Ride as the

individual prize in the raffle was

also won by a member of the

Revenue. The prizes were pre-

sented by the President of the

Limerick Bar Association, Margaret

O'Connell. We are very grateful to

her for coming along. Margaret

however appeared a bit uncomfort-

able presenting prize money to the

Revenue! A most enjoyable evening

was had by all with special thanks

to the IPBS for its sponsorship.
