John Costello
John Costello
was admitted to the
Roll of Solicitors in 1977 and
practises in the firm of Eugene F.
Collins. He says his primary
motivation in seeking election to the
Council was to improve the image of
the profession. In particular, he feels
that the public does not appreciate the
wide range of services offered by
solicitors. He also wants to represent
the interests of solicitors, particularly
in relation to the Compensation Fund
and is concerned about the problem of
overcrowding in the profession.
Successfully elected to Council on his
second attempt, he says he is
particularly grateful to all those who
supported him in the ballot.

Michael Carroll
While employed by the Civil Service
in the Estate Duty Office,
Michael
Carroll
studied for a BL and was
called to the Bar in 1973. However, he
then decided to embark on a career as
a solicitor and was admitted to the
Roll in 1978. Since 1984 he has
worked in the Solicitors' Office in
CIE and is now Group Solicitor
heading a team of nine solicitors and a
support staff of twenty seven. He says
he is interested in promoting high
professional standards, thereby
increasing public confidence in the
profession. He is also in favour of the
creation of an orderly procedure for
the qualification of solicitors. He
hopes that, as a solicitor working for a
large corporation, he can offer a
useful perspective during debates on
policy at Council meetings.
