Tributes to Judge Browne on his final day at Tuam Court

AFTER 14 years on the bench Judge Geoffrey Browne bade an emotional farewell to his friends and colleagues at his final sitting of Tuam District Court on Tuesday.
Those paying tribute to the retiring Judge all focussed on his humanity, understanding and willingness to see both sides of every situation.
Presiding over the final few of the approximately 30,000 cases during his 14-year career, Judge Browne told those present that it was an emotional day for him as he had a soft spot for Tuam. His ancestors hailed from Ardskeagh and he had experienced nothing but hospitality and friendship while serving in the town.
