The 6th D i p l oma in Property Tax
Course started in Ma y o in February of
this year. The lectures ran during the
w e e k e nd from the start of February to
the end of Ma y.
A g o od deal of interest in the d i p l oma
course had been e xp r e s s ed by
solicitors in the area. The response to
the course was e x c e l l e nt with a total
of thirty nine solicitors (mainly from
the Ma y o, S l i go and Ga l way regions)
attending the lectures.
The course requires a g o od deal of
work and dedication and the solicitors
from the We st proved to be e x emp l a ry
students.
Ov er the last f i ve courses a total of
one hundred and twenty f i ve solicitors
have been awarded D i p l omas in
Property Tax and w e hope that the
