I know this I'm replying to an old post but anyway....
focloir.ie gives dlíodóir as first definition of lawyer (it also gives aturnae). Solicitor is more commonly used in Ireland than lawyer and should be accepted.
focloir.ie does not use the word aturnae anywhere in it's entry for "lawyer".
The FGB does not use the word "lawyer" anywhere in it's entry for aturnae.
Solicitors don't deal with judges - that's the difference between a solicitor and a barrister. Both solicitors (aturnaetha) and barristers (abhcóidí) are "lawyers" (dlíodóirí), but not every dlíodóir is a solicitor.
