IRC funding success for Dr Laura Cahillane

Congratulations to Dr Laura Cahillane, Associate Professor in the School of Law, who has been awarded a New Foundations Grant by the Irish Research Council for a project on Judicial Selection procedures.

The Trust for Civil Liberties, Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms and the Irish Council for Civil Liberties are the charity partners for this project, which will examine international best practice on judicial appointment structures, in order to provide recommendations on the processes which will need to be put in place with the passage of the Judicial Appointments Commission Bill.
