SOCIETY OF YOUNG SOLICITORS
AUTUMN SEMINAR
Great Southern Hotel, Killarney
The Society of Young Solicitors
held its Autumn Seminar in the
Killarney Great Southern Hotel,
County
Kerry
in
October.
Sponsored by the Solicitors
Financial and Property Services
Company (Ireland) the theme for
the weekend was Business and
Finance.
In true SYS spirit, the weekend
got off to a flying start with over
140 " young" solicitors including a
contingent from Northern Ireland
led by
Paul Spring
fortifying them-
selves against the rigours of the
weekend ahead aboard the
Champagne Express from Dublin to
Killarney. Upon arrival a few short
steps led to the old world charm of
the Great Southern Hotel where
conference delegates were enter-
tained into the small hours by
Paul
White
on piano.
On Saturday morning everyone
rose at dawn and the stamina of
the true young solicitor was
reflected
in
the
capactiy
attendance at the opening lecture
on "Company Takeovers" given by
Mr. Michael Irvine,
solicitor. A
panel discussion on financial
products/services for the personal
and corporate client followed in
which topics ranging from the
futures exchange, the business
expansion scheme, the financial
services centre and the solicitors
financial and property services
were covered. The speakers were
Mr. Anthony Kirwan,
solicitor,
Mr. David Sanfey,
solicitor,
Mr.
Brendan Russell, IDA
and
Mr.
Peter Prost,
Managing Director,
Sedgwick Dineen.
Saturday afternoon saw the
tourists out in force with local
attractions such as Ross Castle and
Muckross House being visited by
many and jaunting cars being hired
by as many more. The Lake District
also attracted considerable interest
with at least one member of the
group taking the opportunity to get
in some swimming practice.
The social highlight of the
weekend was undoubtedly the
Banquet and Dance on Saturday
evening at which members of the
Kerry Law Society also attended.
Mayo was also well represented.
Katherine
Delahunt,
the
Chairman of the SYS, expressed
thanks to all concerned for the
success of the weekend. Special
thanks are due to
M i r i am
Reynolds
for trojan work behind
the scenes. A large measure of the
success of the weekend must also
be attributed to the friendliness and
efficiency of the staff of the Great
Southern Hotel.
The closing lecture was given on
Sunday morning by
Mr. Desmond
Peelo, FCA.
The topic was
"Financial Advice to Clients: The
Untapped Resource For Solicitors".
Many questions were raised after-
wards from the floor demonstrating
the awakening interest in this
subject.

covered at the weekend are avail-
