Coyle Hamilton Debate 1991

The final of this year's law student's

debating tournament for the Coyie

Hamilton Trophy took place on the

19th February last in the President's

Hall, Blackhall Placa

This prestigious debate was,

once again, convened by SADSI.

The motion for debate was "that

the Irish public would be better

served by a fused legal profession."

Proposing the motion were teams

from UCG and the King's Inns. The

opposition speakers hailed from

Queen's University, Belfast and

SADSI.

The debate was, once again,

very ably chaired by the Chief

Justice, the Honourable Mr. Justice

Thomas A. Finlay. The distin-

guished panel of adjudicators was

composed of the Honourable Mr.

Justice Niall McCarthy, the

Honourable Mr. Justice John

Blayney, Mr. Niáll Fennelly S.C., Mr.

Donal Binchy and Judge Michael

Moriarty.

Following some excellent debat-

ing, the adjudicators retired to

make their decision which, as

usual, proved very difficult in view

of the high standard of all the

speakers. The winning team was

Queen's University, Belfast com-

prising of two speakers, Adele

O'Grady and Deborah Irwin.

The prize for the best speaker of

the evening was given to Maire

Anne Ni Ghallchoir from the SADSI

team. The SADSI team (Maire

Anne Ni Ghallchoir and Maura

Hennessy) were awarded the

runners up prize.

Mr. Ronan Fearon, the Chairman

and Chief Executive of the Coyle

Hamilton Group then presented the

prizes which included the Coyle

Hamilton Trophy and an expenses

paid debating visit to the United

Kingdom.

The evening once again proved to

be a tremendous success and

sincere thanks and praise is due to

Coyle Hamilton Insurance Brokers

for their very generous sponsorship

of this event.
