Sharing the History of the Four Courts, Dublin, Ireland

New Irish Barristers, November 1930

From the Irish Independent, 8 November 1930, a very nice-looking group of new Irish barristers, including one woman (A Caulfield) as well as two members of the Gardai: a Superintendent and Chief Superintendent.

Exhibitioner George Daniel Murnaghan (far left) later became a formidable High Court judge, and is remembered for having sentenced the last man hanged in Ireland (Michael Manning, executed in 1954).

    You would need a steel helmet appearing before George Murnaghan
    Monday morning motions could be a bit rough if all the papers weren’t in order
