Qualifying in 1989 from UCD with a LLB
(Hons), Donal spent the next ten years working closely with
his late father Fergus of Fergus P. Taaffe & Co., D’Olier
St., gaining experience in a range of legal areas, but
especially Personal Injury and Labour law.
The exposure
there led to his particular interest in defending the rights
of those most vulnerable in the workforce.
