Reading time: 1 minute
The Galway Solicitors Bar Association (GSBA) will next week host an event to celebrate 100 years of women in the solicitor profession.
The event, taking place on Monday 17 April from 4pm–7pm, will include a one-hour CPD workshop with guest speaker Margaret Mulpeter on workplace wellbeing, followed by drinks and finger food.
Legal professionals living or practising in the Western Region are invited to attend the event, which is taking place at Queen Street @ Victoria Hotel, Eyre Square, Galway and is sponsored by RDJ LLP.
Stephanie Coughlan, president of GSBA, said: “2023 marks the centenary of the first women in Ireland to enter the solicitor’ profession.
“Mary Dorothea Heron was admitted to the roll of solicitors on 17 April 1923 and in the same year Helena Mary Early became the first female solicitor to obtain a practising certificate in the then newly formed Saorstát Éireann.”
Further information can be found on the GSBA website and registration is possible by emailing info@gsba.ie.
