Solicitors firm responds to claims
21 August 1999 --
THE Belfast law firm of Madden and Finucane has responded to comments made about
one of its employees by a magistrate in Philadelphia. Magistrate Jacob Hart, who
was involved in a court hearing concerning the alleged posting of guns to
Ireland from the US, suggested that Sean Rooney, of Madden and Finucane, had
posed as a lawyer. In a statement, Madden and Finucane said: “In the context of
media reports concerning the alleged posting of guns to Ireland from the US, it
had been suggested that Sean Rooney posed as a lawyer in an attempt to meet one
of the accused in prison. “Mr Rooney, who is a law clerk with Madden and
Finucane, was at the time, on a Congressional internship in Washington. He is
not in the US as a representative of Madden and Finucane. “Mr Rooney was
contacted by a family member of one of the accused, who asked Mr Rooney to
obtain legal representation for that accused. “In an effort to be of assistance,
Mr Rooney made arrangements to see the accused at prison. In doing so, he did
not pose as a lawyer. He did nothing improper. In fact, he succeeded in
arranging legal representation for the accused,’ said the statement. l A news
agency report in the Irish News of August 6 1999, may have given the impression
that the law firm of Madden and Finucane had acted improperly. The Irish News
would like to make it clear that Madden and Finucane is a firm of the highest
professional standing. We regret any distress which may have been caused by our
report.
