Members of the choir, which is made up of members of the legal profession, were joined by the President of the Law Society, Eileen Ewing, David Mulholland, Chief Executive of the Bar and Nora Tallon, from Harbinson-Mulholland Accountants who sponsored the concert for the cheque presentation.
Commenting the President of the Law Society of Northern Ireland, Eileen Ewing said:
