‘We Raised the Bar for 1916’ by Deirdre Conroy, Barrister–at–Law Candidate

What became the Bar Rising last March was first suggested by auditor, Sam Deasy, as a ‘women for election’ talk. A simple matter of having a few speakers give a pitch to our students, encouraging our budding barristers to think about future participation in local or national representation.

Rónán Mullen: King’s Inns Alumnus running in 2016 Seanad Elections, NUI Panel

It is probably an odd thing to say but one of my stand–out memories from the four years I spent studying in King’s Inns is all the coffee breaks we had.

Samuel Deasy – 186th Auditor of the LSDSI

“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.
