The Centre currently has five permanent full-time faculty, comprised of two Professors and three lecturers, four additional lecturers who serve in an adjunct or visiting capacity, six doctoral fellows, two post-doctoral fellows and three administrative assistants. Whilst the Centre is autonomous in both its physical location and day-to-day operations, its academic staff are members of the School of Law at the National University of Ireland, Galway, with whom the Centre is linked and maintains a close and cooperative working relationship.

Michael d. higgins elected as president

                   

The Irish Centre for Human Rights would like extend our warmest congratulations to Michael D. Higgins on his successful election as the ninth President of Ireland. Michael D. has been one of the strongest voices for human rights and social justice in Ireland during his many years of public service. He has campaigned on a variety of human rights issues at home and abroad, highlighting instances of injustice and abuse that might otherwise have not received the attention they deserved. Michael D. has been a great friend of the Irish Centre for Human Rights and currently serves as an Adjunct Professor of the Centre.

We wish him the very best in his new and well-deserved role as Uachtarán na hÉireann.
