We have extensive experience in acting on behalf of Clubs and Associations. Dermot McNamara is the author of “A Legal Guide for Clubs and Associations”; the only book published in Ireland which covers this subject.

The book will assist Clubs and Associations in providing guidelines on the legal issues which concern them.

Topics covered include Licencing, the role of the Committee, liability foraccidents; nuisance caused to neighbours, disciplinary procedures for members; employment law; equal status; taxation and data protection.  All royalties from this book are donated to the Laura Lynn Childrens Hospice

The book helps to ensure compliance with legislation and will advise how exposure to accident claims can be minimised. It suggests ways to protect the Committee and Trustees from being held personally liable for activities carried out by them on behalf of the club.

The book contains manyhelpful and useful precedents such as;
