Very occasionally you meet people in life that really inspire you. Years ago I met a senior counsel barrister in Dublin from a very well-to-do family who you'd expect to walk around with a degree of pomp and superiority in his step. But not this man. He would go to a law centre every month in a very rough area of Dublin and give his time free of charge to anyone who needed it. Not only was he great with clients but everyone he worked with taking a genuine interest in them and what made them tick. I used to watch him with co-workers and try to learn from his skills. I saw little except understated brilliance all the time.
Yesterday I saw him deliver a presentation at the Law Society in Belfast. He was witty, amusing, erudite, informative and very compelling.
Turlough you're the boy...
