Petition No. P00010/14 is from Mr. Colm Murphy and 12 supporting petitioners seeking regulation of the legal profession. The petitioner is calling for the manner in which the Law Society treats all solicitors to be fair, equitable and transparent. He feels that the current form of self-regulation does not meet the desires of the public or the profession. Deputy Healy-Rae wishes to comment.
