Page Background

legal profession one of its outstanding members. He was

eldest son of Dr. Thomas A. Neville, Clonakilty. The

deceased had a brilliant record from his student years.

Educated at Rockwell College, he became appren-

ticed to his late uncle, Mr. James Neville, solicitor,

Bandon, and in his final solicitor's examination, he was

awarded a silver medal, and the Findlater Scholarship.

In addition he obtained his B.A. at University College,

Cork, with first-class honours in economics and soci-

ology. He took an active interest in college life and was

honorary secretary of the Law Society. He was awarded

the Peel Memorial Prize.

His crowning schalostic achievement came when he

was awarded a scholarship granted by the Friendly Sons

of St. Patrick in Philadelphia, U.S.A.. which was granted

in open competition for students of all the Irish univer-

sities. He spent a year in the U.S.A. and secured his

LL.M.

On his return home, he did not immediately enter

the solicitor's profession, but instead he opted to practise

at the Bar, and having passed the necessary examin-

ations he was called to the Bar and rapidly built up a

valuable practice. He also became a lecturer under the

Incorporated Law Society.

In 1968, after recovering from an illness, he reverted

to his original profession of solicitor and joined the

well-known Cork legal firm of O'Flynn, O'Driscoll and

Russell and he became well-known and respected in

Cork legal circles. He also took up an appointment as

an assistant lecturer at the Law Department of U.C.C.

He continued to take an avid interest in legal science

outside of day-to-day practice and his distinguished

status was recognised when he was appointed to the

special legal research body which was set up in asso-

ciation with the Economic and Social Research Insti-

tute under the chairmanship of Mr.-Justice Kenny. He

was also chairman of the Society of Young Solicitors

and. in fact, presided at their seminar a few weeks ago

in Killarney.

Mr. Neville is survived by his wife Mrs. Finola Neville,

solicitor, and three children; his parents; his sister and

his brothers who are also members of the legal profession.
