The comments by Hogan J. are, as always, so apt and so uplifting! What a debt we owe to so many brave litigants. Congratulations to wonderful colleagues @AileenFKavanagh @hogan_hilary.
Great article by @MaryCarolanIT @IrishTimes today, shining a spotlight on Mrs McGee’s landmark case in 1973 which led to the legalisation of contraception in Ireland, discussed at the @TriCONDublin conference on ‘Contraception and the Constitution’ @TLRHub @TCDLawSchool

Congratulations to the editors and thanks for the opportunity to think about the place of rehabilitation in prison oversight.
“Social Rehabilitation and Criminal Justice” (@RoutledgeLaw) is OUT! 🎈 What a beautiful journey. Heartfelt thanks to our stellar authors for their enlightening contributions on the meaning of social rehabilitation, including its critical relevance to the achievement of justice.

It’s taken an unconscionable amount of time, but good news to see the ‘under reservation’ caveat lifted from crime statistics. The role of the @CSOIreland is critical, and undervalued.

Reflecting on 10 years since the Joint Ctte report on Penal Reform and almost 10 since the PPRG report. Sad to be talking about increasing prison numbers and overcrowding again. We need to implement those principles. OPCAT also very overdue and General Scheme requires amendment.

Joining with so many others in giving thanks for the truly monumental generosity of Chuck Feeney. @IPRT would not have survived never mind become the authoritative, well-run force for good that it is without his input. An exceptional legacy. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis.

A very sad statement, and one which could shape penal policy for the next decade. “The era of not expanding prison spaces is over” @SimonHarrisTD . Out of line with European approaches & obligations. Improving conditions is one thing, expanding is another. irishtimes.com/crime-law/202…
