Tom O'Malley, NUIGA few weeks ago, Tom O’Malley (academic, barrister, law commissioner; pictured right) started a new and important blog, called Sentencing, Crime and Justice. His logic and timing are impeccable:

A New Blog: here we go….

… when a man is under lockdown and knowing that it may be years before he gets busy again (at the bar at least) or that he might even be swept into oblivion at any moment by the Corona virus, he should take advantage of his leisure to start a blog.

Shatter was recently interviewed by Stuart Gilhooly for The Parchment and made the following comment, which is either exciting or terrifying depending on your outlook:

He wants a legacy. He wants to change the way the country works. He wants to make a difference. And you get the feeling that if he gets his chance, three decades of frustration will be released by a deluge of legislation.

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.
