tcd crest, via tcd Law SchoolThe Dublin Legal Workshop is a series of public lectures hosted by the School of Law, Trinity College Dublin (map here). At present, there are two streams to the Workshop: an evening stream (usually on Tuesdays) which is largely a forum in which external speakers can share ideas in Trinity; and an afternoon stream (usually every second Wednesday lunchtime during term) in which members of the Law School’s research community of staff and postgraduate research students present works in progress.

Aoife Daly, via TCD Law SchoolUpdate (18 April 2007): Today This week, in the lunchtime stream, on Wednesday 18 April 2007, at 1pm, Aoife Daly, PhD student in the School of Law, Research Fellow at the Children’s Research Centre in Trinity College Dublin, and Visiting Lecturer at the Irish Centre for Human Rights in NUI Galway, will present a paper entitled:

The Implementation of the International Right of Children to be Heard in Proceedings that Affect them.

As always, if you are interested, please do come along; if past sessions are anything to go by(*), this should be an enjoyable and informative presentation.

* And yes, I do know that past performance is no guarantee of future results. And terms and conditions apply!…

Recently, in the evening stream of the Dublin Legal Workshop (School of Law, Trinity College Dublin), on 3 April 2007, Andrea Martin, solicitor and media law specialist gave a talk entitled:

Right of Reply – a Workable Proposition for the Media?

Her argument was that a recent statutory proposal for a right of reply on broadcast media was neither necessary nor desirable, but that a voluntary scheme operated by broadcast media would have a lot to recommend it. …

First, the Codes. …

The status of frozen embryos under the ECHR

European Court of Human Rights, via BBCWhat should be the legal response to a situation where a couple, having frozen the woman’s embryos (say, for medical reasons) subsequently break up? If neither statute nor the arrangement between the couple and the clinic provides for this, then it would seem that the woman has no right to seek to implant the embryos in the hope of bearing a child or children without the consent of her now ex-partner. This at least was the view of the Irish High Court in MR v TR [2006] IEHC 359 (15 November 2006) interpreting the Irish Constitution last year (already noted on this blog); and it was the view this week of the European Court of Human Rights in Evans v UK [GC] 6339/05 [2007] ECHR 264 (10 April 2007) …

carmina-burana-flier.jpgDU Choral Society (in which I have sung bass, occasionally and very shakily), conducted by Bernie Sherlock, will sing Carl Orff‘s ‘Carmina Burana‘ in the National Concert Hall (NCH) next Tuesday evening, 17 April 2007, at 8.00pm. Book now! And enjoy.

PS I can’t believe that the classic Old Spice ad which uses ‘O Fortuna‘ (the opening and closing chorus from the ‘Carmina Burana’) isn’t available on YouTube! (though there are lots of other examples of the chorus, I particularly like this one).…

Welcome

Me in a hat

Hi there! Thanks for dropping by. I’m Eoin O’Dell, and this is my blog: Cearta.ie – the Irish for rights.


“Cearta” really is the Irish word for rights, so the title provides a good sense of the scope of this blog.

In general, I write here about private law, free speech, and cyber law; and, in particular, I write about Irish law and education policy.
