Gary Lee

Mr Lee joins the office as a solicitor weeks after he announced his departure as managing solicitor of the law centre.

Writing on LinkedIn, he said: “It has been a pleasure to have worked with such wonderful and dedicated colleagues, board members and volunteers over the past few years. Above all it has been my absolute privilege to have served the great people of Ballymun.”

The General Solicitor for Minors and Wards of Court can be appointed by the president of the High Court as committee of a ward where there is not a family member or trusted friend who can take the role.
