Barrister mag proves boom in heading into overdrive
SIGNS that the economy is roaring and nearing Celtic Tiger levels of aplomb and bonhomie are as plentiful as snuff at a wake.
One only has to look to the arrival of The Ivy — the iconic London eatery that has just opened its first international brasserie in Dublin — to see that Ireland Inc has, as it were, got its ‘verve’ clicquot back.
Or what of the recent nuptials in Adare Manor of developer Greg Kavanagh, the self-described ‘Ronaldo of the Property market’, who had English singer-songwriter Ellie Goulding serenade his new wife, Sheila Martin, for their big day. Goulding, who recently announced her own engagement to her boyfriend of 18 months, Caspar Jopling, played as part of a two-day wedding festival dubbed ‘Harry and Meghan 2.0’.
Now that other economic bellwether, m’learned friends in the Law Library, are to get their own, quarterly lifestyle magazine.
Barrister Magazine is billed as “a unique high-end product with an uncompromising distribution” offering an “exceptional opportunity” for any company wishing to advertise its product or services to a welltargeted and committed audience, such as clothing, cars, legal and financial services, travel, watches, boats and the like.
It boasts a “particular emphasis on the needs and requirements of this important body”. Do we need any more proof that the boom is back and in overdrive?
