Yesterday, Limerick County Council held an election for their new solicitor, chaired by Mr T.B. Mitchell, J.P. Three candidates ran for the position: Mr William Leahy, Crown Solicitor, Limerick; Mr P.T. Liston, solicitor Rathkeale; and Mr J.H. Moran, solicitor, Limerick. In the end, Mr Leahy emerged as the winner and was elected to the position. He will receive an annual salary of £500 for his services as the Council’s solicitor. The Council’s decision comes with the expectation that Mr Leahy will provide effective legal representation and advice over the course of his term.
