“I would like to congratulate Mr Justice MacMenamin on his appointment and to wish him every success in his new role.
“Mr Justice MacMenamin succeeds Mr Justice John D. Cooke, who sadly passed away in April of last year. I want to take this opportunity to acknowledge Mr Justice Cooke for his service both as a judge and as chairperson of IFSAT.”
