The President and Council of the Irish Legal History Society were deeply saddened at the passing of our former fellow Council member and friend, The Hon. Mr Hugh Geoghegan. A retired member of the Supreme Court, he passed away on Sunday, 7 July 2024.
He was a stalwart of the Society since its inception and a great supporter of its work. Amongst his many contributions to the law and legal studies, in the Society volume Lawyers, the Law and History (ed. Larkin & Dawson) he contributed ‘The three judges of the Supreme Court of the Irish Free State, 1925-36: the backgrounds, personalities and mindsets’.
