Judge Lydon said: “It is great to hear that we have a new criminal law practitioner (in District No. 3).”

She added that Ms. Collins had joined one of the most successful and formidable law firms in the west of Ireland.

Ms. Collins thanked the court for the cordial welcome stating: "It's a pleasure."
