Commenting on his election, Mr Fuller told Irish Legal News: “It is a great honour to be elected as president of the Southern Law Association.

“I am really looking forward to working with my colleagues on council in the coming year to continue the great work the SLA does in representing and advocating solicitors in Cork.”
