    Google the law society. One phone call will tell you.

    I've no idea where you were looking for info Engele, 20 seconds on Google gave me a fairly good indication.

    I would hazard a guess that there are two million solicitors in Ireland.

    Here's a good article for you OP with the requisite tears shed on how tough it is for barristers. Just in case your assignment ever leads you to wanting to enter the legal profession.

    Would you get less marks in an exam for quoting the Independent or Wikipedia?

    I've yet to find the sadistic bastard that wants sources in an exam :eek:

    Well other than the loosely attributed academic commentary.

    Bear in mind that the figures are different depending on whether you're talking about those practising as solicitors, members of the Law Society, or non-practising solicitors.
