“Even though these are unprecedented times, the society’s long history shows that we’re capable of weathering the storm that lies ahead and we’ll continue to serve current and future members for many, many more years to come.”
Mr Lynott commented: “I’m delighted with the way the society has evolved during my tenure.
The last two to three years of record breaking performance has been testament to the talent, experience and can-do spirit that has been nurtured at the society.
