Disciplinary Cases
Apo l ogy
Kevin P. Kilrane,
Mohill,
Co. Leitrim.
We refer to a report concerning Kevin
P. Kilrane, Mohill, Co. Leitrim
published on this page in the June
1993 Gazette. The report erroneously
stated that the Disciplinary Committee
had made findings against Mr. Kilrane
under four separate headings (a) (b)
(c) and (d). In fact the findings against
Mr. Kilrane were only under headings
(a) and (d) and
not
(b) and (c).
We wish to apologise to Mr. Kilrane
for this error.

European Young Bar Assoc i at ion Founded
The European Young Bar Association
(EYBA), a new organisation
representing the interests of young
lawyers across Europe, was formally
launched in Prague on 22 May, 1993.
The founding conference which I
attended as the SYS representative,
was energetically and enthusiastically
supported by 40 young lawyers
representing 18 young lawyers
associations from all over Europe
including Ireland, England, The
Netherlands, Belgium, Hungary, Italy,
Denmark, Germany, Sweden, Russia,
Switzerland, Italy, France, Spain and
the Czech Republics. Representatives
from Luxembourg and Romania have
since applied for membership.
EYBA's objectives are to promote the
interests and welfare of young lawyers
and to encourage links between such
lawyers throughout the continent of
Europe. The founding conference
properly took place in Prague as an
indication of one of the aims of the
EYBA which is to develop relations
with Eastern European countries. The
potential for such development was
evidenced by the active participation
at the conference by lawyers from
Moscow, Hungary and the Czech
Republics.
Andrew Greenfield,
a partner
specialising in EC Law at the London
firm, Slingsby Farmiloe and
Greenfield and a member of the
London Young Solicitors Group, was
elected as the first chairman of the
organisation and a constitution was
vigorously debated before ratification
by the Conference. The SYS was
elected to the Association's Sub-
Committee for European Affairs.
The aspirations of the EYBA have
been well received by its members
and the organisation's potential as a
body representing the real interests of
young lawyers in an increasingly
accessible Europe is very promising
indeed. The EYBA intends to be a
city/region based organisation and
Young Bar Associations around the
country are encouraged to participate
in its future.
