THE PRESIDENT, addressing the
meeting, said :
Gentlemen,
I rise to move the adoption of the Annual
Report of the Council, which you have in
your hands, but before dealing with the
Report in detail, I have to refer with very
deep regret to the great loss which the
Council has sustained by the death of Mr.
James Gaffney, who died on the 21st day of
October. Mr. Gaffney was one of the best-
known Solicitors in Ireland, and filled many
public positions. He was a member of the
District Court Rule Making Authority under
the Courts of Justice Act, and was a Pro–
vincial Delegate for Munster on the Council
of the Law Society since the year 1919 up to
the time of his death. The Council will miss
his genial personality and the advice which
his great experience as a Solicitor qualified
him to give.
