Biography

I graduated from Queen’s University, Belfast in 1986 with a 2:1 Honours LL.B after four years of study. I qualified as a Solicitor in 1988 after serving a two year apprenticeship. I thereafter worked as a solicitor in a wide range of different work environments as a Solicitor from the public sector (Local Authority) for 5 years to medium sized and small private practices with period of employment of not less than two years in each. I was called to the Bar in Northern Ireland in 2000 and the Bar of Ireland in 2005. I practise in both jurisdictions within Ireland and am an external member of the Law Library in Dublin and a full member of the Bar Library in Belfast.
