Welcome for New Book on
Local Government Law
Mr. Justice Ronan Keane's new book "The Law of
Local Government in the Republic of Ireland" was
launched recently at the Law Society's Headquarters. The
Minister for the Environment was unfortunately unable to
perform the launching ceremony being detained by a series
of important divisions in the Dail. In a speech read for him
by the Secretary of his Department, Mr. G. A. Meagher, he
congratulated the author on a remarkable achievement
and expressed the view that the work would quickly
establish itself as a standard reference work and would
prove a tremendous guide to all involved in Local
Government. He also commented that the author was
particularly well fitted for his task. He has established
himself in his professional career so as to be a recognised
authority in the field and indeed it could be said that he
grew up within the Local Government System. His father,
the late John P. Keane, had the distinction of achieving the
highest post in the Local Government Service, that of
Dublin City Manager and Town Clerk.
The book was the 9th book published by the Society's
Publications Committee and may be obtained from the
Society at £17.50 per copy plus £1.55 postage. •
