THE SOCIAL NETWORK:The fashion designer Claire Doyle is looking forward to showcasing her spring-summer collection at the Law Library on May 1st in aid of the Society of St Vincent de Paul. Numerous senior and junior counsels are expected.

Doyle has dressed the likes of former president Mary McAleese, Attorney General Máire Whelan and Frances Fitzgerald TD. Doyle’s boyfriend, Conor Foley from Kilkenny, looks after the logistics and deliveries for her. He is completing his officer cadetship in the Naval Service in Cork and will be commissioned in September.

Doyle is no stranger to the military; her father, Tommy, was a colonel in the Army.
