Warm welcome for new solicitor

A WARM welcome was extended to recently qualified solicitor, Luke Fortune of Garrett J. Fortune & Co Solicitors, upon his first day advocating for clients at Cavan District Court late last month.

Inspector Michael O’Donoghue, on behalf of Cavan Monaghan Garda Division, noted that Mr Fortune was beginning a long career and following in the footsteps of his father, Garrett Fortune.

For the legal community, solicitor Martin Cosgrove added his own words of welcome; while similar congratulations and best wishes to Luke for the future were extended by Lorraine McEntee on behalf of the Courts Service.

Judge Raymond Finnegan told Mr Fortune that he undoubtedly had an excellent training, and that he was also blessed with the supportive colleagues he would be joining in the legal profession in Cavan-Monaghan.

“I wish you the very best for a long and lucrative career,” Judge Finnegan added.

Mr Fortune, in turn, extended his own thanks to everyone for their kind words of welcome.
