The President addressed the meeting as follows:
I am very pleased
that
this
is
such a well
represented meeting. There is always a danger in
large countrywide organisations whether they be
vocational groups, political parties or trade unions
that the members and local branches, in our case
Bar Associations, lose contact with
the parent
body, which in turn gives rise to discontent and
sometimes feelings of great dissatisfaction. In the
political world you will doubtless observe how this
comes to the fore at Ard Fheiseanna. One differ
ence between our organisation and the average
political party is that local branches are invariably
well represented at an Ard Fheis and their mem
bers frequently vociferous and any dissatisfaction
