Judge Peter Smithwick, a former president of the District Court and chairman of the Smithwick Tribunal, has passed away. The Irish Times has published a full obituary.
“The Co Kilkenny native, who was born in 1937, came from a family who are a prominent part of the landed gentry of the county. The family firm brewed Smithwick’s ale for several generations until the operation was acquired by Guinness, now Diageo.
“Judge Smithwick’s brother Paul, who was awarded an Order of the British Empire (OBE), died just last month.
“Peter Smithwick grew up in the family’s country home at Kilcreene Lodge in Kilkenny and was educated at Loreto Convent in Kilkenny, Castleknock College and University College Dublin.”
