During last Friday’s sitting of Ballinrobe District Court, Judge Mary Devins commended the “efficient” work carried out by the acting State solicitor, Kieran Madigan, from Roscommon, during his five months working in the Mayo district.
The judge said that Mr Madigan was “pleasant and personable”, everything that a State solicitor should be, and added that he was an example of the fact that “you don’t need to be loud” or “aggressive” to do the job.
Superintendent Padraic O’Toole expressed his gratitude to Mr Madigan, as did Michael Browne, who spoke on behalf of the solicitors.
Mr Madigan thanked the judge, gardaí, court staff, and colleagues. He said that his stay in Mayo was a “lot longer than anticipated” as he ended up staying five months rather than three, but commented that he enjoyed his time in Mayo, however, he is “looking forward to going home”.
