Solicitors' Benevolent

Association

At the recent Annual General Meeting of the Associa-

tion, held at Blackhall Place, Dublin, Mr. Eunan

McCarron proposed the adoption of the Association's

120th Annual Report.

Mr. McCarron expressed the Association's sorrow by

reason of the death during the year of Eric A. Plunkett,

who was both a Trustee and,

ex-officio,

a Director of the

Association. Mr. Colm Price of Dublin had been elected a

Metropolitan Director in his place.

Mr. McCarron thanked the various Solicitors' Bar

Associations and the Society of Young Solicitors for their

subscriptions and took the opportunity of reminding

those Bar Associations which have not subscribed that it

is hoped they will do so in the current year.

Referring to income, Mr. McCarron said that

Donations and Legacies, at £10,128.00showed a pleasant

increase and he mentioned in particular the success of the

first "Soirée", held in 1982, which raised £2,744.00. The

hardworking Committee, under the direction of Noelle

Maguire and Claire Leonard, are arranging another

Soirée to be held at the Law Society, Blackhall Place, on

22nd J une next.

Mr. McCarron also referred to the loan of £20,000.00 to

Abbeyfield (Dublin) Society Limited, which provides a

special type of accommodation for elderly people,

bridging the gap between living in a private house and an

"Old Person's Home ". The Solicitors' Benevolent Society

is now entitled to nominate two residents and two

Directors. Miss Thelma King is a Committee member.

Arrangements are being made for an elderly Solicitor to

be moved into an Abbeyfield House on the Howth Road

in the near future.

The amount paid out in grants during the past year was

£58,231.00 and the average payment made to those

assisted was £1,200.00.

Mr. McCarron thanked the outgoing President of the

Law Society for his interest in the Association and

thanked the Law Society and its staff for helping in

collecting the subscriptions and for permitting the

Association to hold its meetings at Blackhall Place.
