Bar of NI statement on death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II

​Chair of the Bar of Northern Ireland Moira Smyth KC has commented on the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II:

“The Officers and members of the Bar of Northern Ireland join with colleagues across the legal profession in mourning the passing of Her Majesty the Queen.

“Queen Elizabeth II was an ambassador of the rule of law and the independent Bar. Queen Elizabeth said in 1968, ‘we must continue to be able to rely on the strong and peerless legal profession. The Bar’s independence is as much a safeguard to our liberties today as it has been in the past.’

“We send our condolences to the family of Her Majesty and the many people across these islands who hold Queen Elizabeth II in the highest of regard.”
