are investigating the possibility of arranging for
Companies Office Searches to be dealt with by way
of Telex, and this could greatly relieve the present
frustration for the public and for the profession.
As I said earlier in this Address, we live in changing
times, and we in the Law Society are anxious to move
with, or ahead of those times, provided that such progress
is in the interests of the public and ourselves, and does not
affect the fundamental values which we as Solicitors hold.
As an example of this, we have been pressing for over a
year now for legislation to involve lay people in the
Committees we have which deal with complaints. As the
newest members of this profession, we look to you for
positive ideas and support, just as we hope that you will
look to us for guidance in some situations, where the
experience of older members is irreplaceable, but it is
essential for all of us to keep considering and reflecting on
changes which will be of benefit, both in large and small
matters. As a result of becoming Solicitors to-day, a fee
will have to be paid for your Practising Certificate. It
would not surprise me if within a few years time that fee
will be paid by Credit Card, and the same could well apply
to costs charged to clients by Solicitors.
Before concluding, I would like to turn to one sad and
serious matter. A week ago to-day, Sgt. Morrissey was
shot dead in the course of his duty. This is the first public
occasion on which I have spoken since his death, and I
want to take this opportunity to convey the deepest
sympathy of the Incorporated Law Society of Ireland and
its members to the family of Sgt. Morrissey. I wish also to
pass this message on to the Commissioner of the Gardai
Siochana and to the Association of Garda Sergeants and
Inspectors. In doing so, I would like to convey to them the
condemnation of the Solicitors' Profession of this brutal
killing, and our support for the Gardai Siochana in doing
their duty which often involves difficult and dangerous
work.
Finally, it gives me real pleasure, on behalf of the
Council of the Incorporated Law Society of Ireland, to
congratualte you all, and to welcome you to the
profession. I hope that you will find your work as a
Solicitor interesting and rewarding, and that you w
; n
serve the public with conscientiousness, humanity and
efficiency. I hope too that those who have given such
support to you will feel that it has all been worth while. •
