Redmond John Barry (14 September 1866 – 11 July 1913) was an Irish lawyer and judge who became Lord Chancellor of Ireland; his promising career was cut short by his early death.
He was the third son of Patrick Barry of Hill View, Cork.[1] He was educated at the Royal University of Ireland, was called to the Bar in 1888 and became Queen's Counsel in 1899.[2] He was not related to the statesman John Redmond, although as he cheerfully admitted, the widespread belief that he was Redmond's kinsman did no harm to his career.[3] He married Ethel Pyke of Southport in 1895.[4]
Maurice Healy in his memoir The Old Munster Circuit praises Barry warmly as a gifted and cultivated lawyer, who left behind him more affectionate memories than any other member of the Irish Bar.[9]
