The President, in moving the adoption of the
Annual Report said :
GENTLEMEN,
At our half-yearly meeting in May last, I
referred to the very heavy loss our Profession
had sustained by the death of so many members
during that half-year.
It is with very great
regret that I have again to refer to the passing
of so many members. Death has claimed an old
and valued member, the late Mr. P. J. Brady,
who was a well-known public representative.
While member for the St. Stephen's Green Con
stituency in the British House of Parliament of
1910 to 1918, he was responsible for the enactment
of the act providing meals for necessitous school-
children. Mr. Brady was also a member of the
St. Vincent de Paul Society and lent his ready
help to other charitable works. He was Director
of the Hibernian Bank and the Great Southern
Railways.
For many years a member of our
Council, he was President for the year 1921-22.
In addition, he was actively interested in the
Solicitors' Benevolent Association, of which he
had been a former Chairman and Trustee. During
the last six months, death has also claimed Mr.
William Ingram, Limavady, Mr. J. T. Cosgreave,
Rathkeale, Mr. Louis A. Kennedy, Belfast, Mr.
A. Plunkett Kenney, Dublin, Mr. Joseph G.
Fitzgerald, Sir Henry Wynne, the last Chief
Crown Solicitor of Ireland, Senator David L.
Robinson, Mr. Patrick J. O'Hagan, County
Registrar, Dundalk, Mr. John Davies, formerly
of Dublin, and Registrar of the High Court of
Justice, Northern Ireland, Mr. Gerard M. O'Brien,
Dublin, Mr. Vincent P. Kennedy, Cavan, Mr.
Francis F. Cullinan, formerly Crown Solicitor for
Clare, and Mr. John Alexander of Belfast. Go
