On Tuesday, 21st February 2017, our 187th Auditor of the Law Students’ Debating Society of Ireland (LSDSI), Declan Harmon, addressed an audience at King’s Inns for his Inaugural Address. This year’s Address was titled “Bunreacht na hÉireann – Liberty’s Bulwark in an Age of Uncertainty”.
“Congrats! You’re the Auditor” was the text message. In a long campaign, with five other candidates, I had already accepted defeat and gone to the gym. I was in shock when I heard the news. I ran up several flights of stairs to the Benchers’ Room where I was greeted by a round of applause and many kind congratulations from other candidates, staff, and students.
