Association members ranged over a wide variety of
types of insurances and, accordingly, the advisability of
providing an Insurance Information Service, without
cost to the Inquirer, has been felt by the members as
being beneficial to the Public and, particularly, Trade
Associations and Companies.
Naturally, the Information Service Officials will not
be expected to process the details of an individual
matter to a conclusion, but the facility is available so
that, without obligation or commitment, members of
the Public, Institutions, Trade Associations or Com-
panies can receive help which, at a minimum, would
assist towards the solution of whatever particular in-
surance problem with which they may be concerned.
The Association, therefore, established a Permanent
Secretariat to provide this facility. The Service is under
the personal direction of Mr. A. J. Hatch, Deputy
Secretary of the Association, and operates from the
offices of the Association at 50 Northumberland Road,
Ballsbridge, Dublin 4. (Telephone Nos. 765100 and
765109.)'
The members of the Irish Insurance Association are
as follows:
Irish Catholic Church Property Insurance Co. (esta-
blished 1902).
Hibernian Insurance Co. Ltd. (established 1908).
New Ireland Assurance Co. Ltd. (established 1918).
Irish National Insurance Co. Ltd. (established 1919).
Irish Public Bodies Mutual Insurances Ltd. (established
1935).
Insurance Corporation of Ireland Ltd. (established
1935).
Irish Life Assurance Co. Ltd. (established 1939).
P.M.P.A. Insurance Co. Ltd. (established 1967).
It is hoped that the fullest possible use of the In-
surance Information Service will be made. Requests for
information or advice, especially welcome from Trade
Associations or their members, may therefore be in
respect of Personal or Commercial Insurances. In this
way it is hoped to encompass all the various branches
of General Insurances and Life Assurances. All such
information and advice will be provided free of charge.
The Irish Insurance Association is confident that the
Information Service will commend itself to your Asso-
ciation, and its individual members. We would, there-
fore, appreciate your drawing the attention of your
members to the existence of this new Service.
Yours faithfully,

Mr. James J. Ivers,
Director General,
The Incorporated Law Society
Dear Mr. Ivers,
I refer to your letter of October 15 (your ref. L/42)
and to previous correspondence on the subject of non-
compliance by some Solicitors with the terms and con-
ditions of the Law Clerks Employment Regulation
Order. I am writing now to tell you that the Minister
intends to institute proceedings against Solicitors found
to be in breach of the conditions of the Employment
Regulation Order.
In the course of inspection not many law clerks have
been found to be paid monthly and if they are, there i-
s
no special difficulty in checking on compliance with
the terms and conditions of the Employment Regula-
tion Order.
Yours sincerely,
T. O Cearbhaill
