Thomas Molony
Sir Thomas Molony, 1st Baronet, PC, QC (1865–1949)〔The Times obituary of 5 September 1949 reports that Molony had been sworn of the Irish Privy Council in 1913 and was created a baronet in 1925〕 was the last Lord Chief Justice of Ireland. He was also the only Judge to hold the position of Lord Chief Justice of Southern Ireland although he did not hold that position under that title.〔For a thorough overview, see: W.N. Osborough, Studies in Irish Legal History, Four Courts Press 1999, p 311 – 326.〕
== Early career and politics ==
Molony qualified as a barrister in 1887 and became a Queen's Counsel in 1899. He served as Solicitor-General for Ireland (24 June 1912 to 10 April 1913) when he was appointed Attorney General for Ireland (10 April 1913 to 20 June 1913). Later in 1913, Molony was made a judge of the High Court for Ireland and from 1915 sat as a judge of the High Court of Appeal for Ireland. He was also appointed to several governmental inquiries, notably one on certain shootings including that of Francis Sheehy-Skeffington in the wake of the 1916 Irish Easter Rising.
In terms of his own politics, Molony has been described as ''“a Home Ruler of the old stamp"''.〔W.N. Osborough, Studies in Irish Legal History, Four Courts Press 1999, p 316.〕 He was opposed to the partition of Ireland. When the Government of Ireland Act was being drafted he declined an invitation to travel to London to advise on proposals relating to the creation of a separate judiciary for what was to be ''Northern Ireland''. In correspondence with government officials, he expressed his particular disappointment that unlike previous Home Rule Bills, it was now proposed that the Irish judiciary would be divided. He opined that this would impose unnecessary expense, lead to duplication of administrative expenses and that the proposals were ''“detrimental to the dignity and authority of the Bench...and would tend to...prolong the separation of the two parts of Ireland, which it is hoped ultimately to re-unite"''.〔W.N. Osborough, Studies in Irish Legal History, Four Courts Press 1999.〕
