The Criminal Law Committee of the Law Society held a Seminar at the Great
Southern Hotel in Galway on 17 June. Fifty-one solicitors and apprentices from all
over Ireland attended and greatly benefited from the excellent lectures given by
Robert Eagar, James MacGuill, Frank McDonnell
and
Niall Sheridan.
The topics
covered were Drunk Driving Prosecutions, Advising Clients in (Custody and the
Criminal Justice (Public Order) Act 1994. One of the great benefits of the
Conference was the lively question and answer session that followed each of the
lectures.
The social scene was not neglected either. Galway is always a lively city and the
participants had ample opportunity to discover some at least of its many pubs,
discos and wine bars. The last official event of the Seminar was a dinner at which
Judge
John Caravan,
who presides over the local District Court, made a very
entertaining speech which greatly added toeveryoneN enjoyment of the evening.
Thanks are also due to
Benen Fahy,
Solicitor, of Galway who chaired the Seminar.
The Committee intends to hold a Seminar on 30 September in the Old Ground
Hotel, Ennis, on the changes introduced by the 1994 and 1995 Road Traffic Acts,
Advising Clients in Custody, Pre-trial Procedures and the law relating to Asylum
Seekers. Application forms are available from
Patricia Casey
at the Law Society.
Anyone who has any suggestions about topics which should be covered or possible
venues for similar events in the future should contact
Patricia
Casey.
