The Law Society, Blackhall Place, Dublin 7

Among the legal profession?

What unpacked madness is this?

This afternoon.

Via RTÉ:

….It is understood the alleged remarks [on a private messaging app] related to female students….

…In an internal email sent to students, seen by RTÉ News, the content of the alleged messages are described as “highly offensive” and give rise to “profound ethical concerns.”

It also says “trainees are subject to the same rules and regulations as practising solicitors regarding ethical behaviour.”

In a statement, the Law Society says it “takes these allegations extremely seriously” and it says “if they are proven to be true, disciplinary action will be taken.”
