Irish teacher and founder Michael Cusack, latter born in 1847, (during the Great Irish Famine 1846-1849), a native of the parish of Carron on the eastern fringe of the Burren, in Co. Clare, would become its first President.

They are expected to be joined by Munster GAA President and GAA Vice President Mr Ger Ryan(Tipperary), as well as other Tipp GAA officials including Mr Patrick McKay, great grandson of John McKay, the former who was elected first secretary in 1884.

It is with great sadness that we share the news with our readers, having learned of the passing of former RTÉ broadcaster and correspondent Mr David Davin-Power, aged 72 years.
Mr Davin-Power first began working for RTÉ News in 1978 and was part of the team that established the Morning Ireland radio programme in 1984.
In 1989 he left RTÉ, for some two years, to head up the newsroom at the now defunct commercial radio station, known as Century Radio, (aka Century 100 and later Century FM), returning to RTÉ as their Northern Editor.
He returned to Dublin, in 2001, again becoming political correspondent; reporting on affairs in Leinster House.
In 2017, Mr Davin-Power retired from RTÉ, having been their political correspondent for some 16 years. However, despite illness, he continued to work as a columnist with The Times Ireland Edition, as well as appearing on RTÉ, Newstalk, and Virgin Media, as a commentator.
Mr Davin-Power is survived by his wife Dearbhla, children Nick, Julia, Caroline, Ben and Emily.
Plan to address barriers to entry to legal professions and early career progression published.
Plan identifies steps needed to widen and increase access to education, training, and career opportunities in the legal professions.
Relevant professional bodies and stakeholders will sit on the Implementation Plan Working Group.
LSRA will provide progress reports every 6 months.
A plan has been published to address the barriers facing many newly qualified and early career solicitors and barristers.
The Legal Services Regulatory Authority (LSRA) were asked to submit a plan to implement the recommendations of its Breaking Down Barriers Report.
This report, which was published in September, examined how a range of issues such as financial means, geography and professional connections can act as obstacles to progression for those studying or starting out in the legal professions.
The plan contains 32 recommendations, and the implementation process will be led by the CEO of the LSRA, who will also chair the Barriers Implementation Working Group.
Relevant professional bodies will be invited to nominate representatives to sit on the Working Group, which will hold quarterly progress update meetings with the legal professional bodies, the Law Society of Ireland, the Honourable Society of King’s Inns and the Bar of Ireland.
Dr Brian Doherty, Chief Executive Officer of the Legal Service Regulatory Authority said: “The LSRA very much looks forward to working with all relevant stakeholders with the common goal of building a more inclusive and diverse legal services sector. The recommendations made in the Breaking Down Barriers report represent an important reform initiative which will build upon measures introduced in recent years by key stakeholders, including the professional bodies for solicitors and barristers, the Law Society of Ireland, the Bar of Ireland and the Honorable Society of King’s Inns.”
