Next AGM

The date for the next meeting was fixed for Friday, 16th

November, 1984.

The Chair was vacated by the President and was taken

by Mr. F. O'Donnell, Senior Vice President. Mr.

Desmond McLaughlin then proposed a vote of thanks to

the President for the work he had done on behalf of the

Society during his year of office. At the Special General

Meeting held at the commencement of the year, he had

told the members what he would do and looking at the

report which had just been adopted, it was possible to see

that the President had accomplished most of his targets.

The work put in by the President during his year of office

occupied a phenomenal amount of his time which placed

demands on both his family and his practice. Mr.

McLaughlin said he was glad to see that the President had

re-activated the Younger Members' Committee and also,

he was glad to see that the advantages of being a member

of the Society had been listed in the report.

In seconding the vote of thanks, Mr. McCarron said the

President had been a tower of strength to the Society and

to the individual members of the profession during his

year of office. Mr. Ken Murphy said he would like to be

associated with the vote of thanks and appreciated parti-

cularly the priority the President had given to younger

members of the profession. Mr. T. C. G. O'Mahony also

expressed his appreciation. The vote of thanks was

conveyed to the President by the Senior Vice President

amidst applause.

This terminated the business of the meeting and the

Senior Vice President declared the meeting closed.

Sixty Years in Practice

On Friday, 16th December, 1983, the North and East

Cork Solicitors' Bar Association made a presentation to

Mr. Edmund Carroll, Solicitor, of Fermoy, to mark his

attainment of sixty years continuous practice.

Mr. Carroll was admitted in Michaelmas Term 1924.

In the course of his speech of thanks in response to the

presentation — a brief-case — Mr. Carroll said he was

looking forward to celebrating his seventy-fifth year in

practice, upon which occasion his colleagues would have

to dig their hands into their pockets again!

Mr. Carroll entertained the guests with a number of

legal anecdotes, including mention of a secretary who had

included in an assignment an exception "unto the

Minister for Lands of the wines and minerals. . . ."!

It is worth remarking that all in Mr. Carroll's life is not

legal; he has been musical director of and a contributor to

the Fermoy Operatic Society for over sixty years. The

Society presented its sixtieth performance at Christmas.

Mr. Carroll is the father of Brian Carroll and Declan

Carroll, solicitors, Valerie Carroll a former Barrister, and

is uncle of Justin McCarthy, solicitor, all of whom work

in the practice.

(I. to r.): Edmund Carroll, Solicitor; Gerard O'Keefe,

Solicitor and Frank O'Donnell, President of the Law

Society.
