INCORPORATED LAW SOCIETY OF IRELAND
The Society is pleased to announce that the Bank of Ireland - Area West - has offered to sponsor
a solicitor based within the area West so that he or she may attend a two-year programme at University
College Galway leading to the MBA Degree. The sponsorship is to the extent of £ 2 , 0 00 per annum
for the two years of the MBA Degree p r og r amme. While the p r og r amme does not commence until
the academic year beginning October 1990, arrangements will need to be in place by the end of 1989.
The Society wishes to record its appreciation of the Bank's generosity in making available this
endowmen t, details of which will appear in the September 1989 issue of the

year in which lectures take place. Classes are normally held each week from 10 . 00am on Friday and
on Saturday up to 1.00pm - a total of about 10 lecture hours per week.
The Society is particularly anxious to promote among solicitors expertise in business methods. This
