McAleese scholarship to help students develop legal career

Former president Mary McAleese has launched a college scholarship in her name to help people take the first step towards a legal career.

Mrs McAleese visited Griffith College in Dublin yesterday to announce the Mary McAleese Legal Executive Scholarship Scheme.

It will enable two people — one studying at either Griffith College in Dublin or Cork — to be enrolled on its diploma in legal studies and practice programme.
