Law Society Faces Trust Crisis | Ireland News

The Law Society is holding a special meeting on September 9th after its CEO, David Lavery, sparked outrage by writing a character reference for his cousin, William Lloyd Lavery—a convicted sex offender from the 70s. The fallout includes Lavery’s removal from key roles and mounting calls for transparency from legal professionals demanding accountability. Despite an internal investigation led by a retired judge and a review panel, the Society can’t disclose full findings due to confidentiality rules. President Mark Borland admits missteps in communication, while members like Jonathan McKeown stress that listening isn’t enough—real answers and action are needed to rebuild trust.
