Dr. Brian Doherty:

I understand the question. No. If someone makes a complaint or brings a complaint to us in relation to a barrister, it falls in our jurisdiction and in our jurisdiction alone to deal with it. The Bar Council still has a role in imposing whatever internal rules it decides upon. With any professional code, the Bar Council or the Law Society at King's Inns would seek put in place, we do have a function in reviewing them. There has not been any conflict to any great degree so far.
