IWLA announces ‘Women Lawyers of the Year’
The Irish Women Lawyers’ Association (IWLA) has named Michele O’Boyle (immediate past-president of the Law Society) and Maura McNally SC (chair of the Council of The Bar of Ireland) as IWLA Women Lawyers of the Year.
The organisation says that the awards to both women are “in recognition of their exceptional leadership during a time of great strife and challenge”.
