Posted on: July 8th, 2011
The Bar Council of Ireland, of which practising barristers in Ireland are members, commissioned Insight Statistical Consulting to undertake a survey of its 2,251 members focusing mainly on their current economic status. The fieldwork for this survey was conducted using both a postal questionnaire and on-line questionnaire. The survey collected information about each barristers’ professional history and qualifications; the main areas in which they practise; their earnings and expenses; the level and duration of outstanding fees; business activity levels during the first three months of the year; and general details on age, gender and household.
