The fact that solicitors who have the power of advocacy can appear in the High Court without wearing barristers' garb is also interesting. It is a pity solicitors do not avail of that facility to any great extent. I am told there are several reasons for this, one being an apprehension that, somehow, they are treading on another part of the legal profession strongly represented on the bench. There is a fear that, in some way, perhaps even unwittingly, it might prejudice their client. We should examine such matters, since they are not appropriate to the proper operation of a republic. The Minister might consider that at some stage.
