&lt;p&gt;The Law School at Griffith College wishes to extend its warm congratulations to Mr Justice Frank Clarke upon his appointment to the Supreme Court.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As a High Court judge he undertook a diversity of work in such areas as intellectual property law, asylum and immigration law and constitutional law. More recently he has sat in the Commercial Court. He was commonly regarded as one of the finest High Court judges by his former peers at the Bar.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He is married to Dr Jacqueline Hayden, Research Associate in the Department of Political Science Trinity College Dublin, and they have a son and a daughter.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mr Justice Clarke is noted for his warm personality and is a very engaging public speaker.

			<title>Justice Frank Clarke, Public Lecture</title>
			<link>http://www.gcd.ie/justice-frank-clarke-public-lecture/</link>
			<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 11pt;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A&amp;nbsp;Public Lecture will be given by the Honorable Mr Justice Frank Clarke on &lt;strong&gt;Thursday 19&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; April at 6pm&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp; in the auditorium at Griffith College .&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Judge Clarke has been Judge in Residence within the Law School since 2010 and was recently elevated to the Supreme Court.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Judge has been, and continues to be, an avid supporter of the Law School and is Chairman of the Irish Innocence Project which has made its home in Griffith College. He is an engaging speaker and there will be opportunities to ask the Judge pertinent questions at the conclusion of the talk.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is a public lecture designed not just for lawyers but for those who may have an interest in legal issues.&amp;nbsp; Terminology, as professionals might have it, or jargon, as detractors might suggest, plays a role in virtually every area of professional endeavour.&amp;nbsp; It is often suggested that professionals use jargon to retain the mystique of the profession and, in effect, to exclude outsiders.&amp;nbsp; There is no doubt but that this can sometimes be the case............&lt;/p&gt;

			<title>Innocence Project Lecture</title>
			<link>http://www.gcd.ie/innocenceprojectlecture/</link>
			<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;On Wednesday 7&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; March , 4.30pm , AF104, Professor Mark Godsey will be giving a public lecture by polycom to students as part of the series of Innocence Project lectures &amp;nbsp;- ALL STUDENTS WELCOME &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mark Godsey is the Daniel P. and Judith L. Carmichael Professor of Law at University of Cincinnati College of Law and The &lt;br /&gt; Director of The &amp;nbsp;Rosenthal Institute for Justice at The Ohio Innocence Project which he established. He is an expert on DNA evidence. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;As a federal prosecutor, Professor Godsey supervised FBI investigations, presented cases to federal grand juries, conducted jury and bench trials, and argued numerous appeals before the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. He prosecuted several cases that garnered national media attention, and received several awards for his performance including the Director's Award for Superior Performance, presented to him by then Attorney General Janet Reno, and a major award from the FBI.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Professor Godsey joined the UC Law faculty in 2004, and was a recipient of the Goldman Prize for Excellence in Teaching that same year. In addition to his teaching and scholarly activities at UC Law, Professor Godsey is an active criminal litigator. He serves as the Director for the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.law.uc.edu/institutes-centers/ohio-innocence-project&quot;&gt;Lois and Richard Rosenthal Institute for Justice and Ohio Innocence Project&lt;/a&gt;, where he represents convicted Ohio inmates for whom new evidence, such as DNA evidence, proves their innocence. Recent high profile cases of the OIP include that of Clarence Elkins (exonerated in 2005 by DNA and released from life sentence for murder and double rape), Chris Bennett (released in 2006 through DNA evidence from imprisonment for aggravated vehicular homicide), Robert McClendon (exonerated by DNA and released in 2008 after serving 18 years for a rape), and Raymond Towler (exonerated by DNA and released in 2010 after serving 29 years for a rape). &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Professor Godsey and the OIP have also proposed several significant legislative reforms in Ohio, and worked tirelessly to get them passed into law. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In 2008, Professor Godsey was elected to the Board of Directors of the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.law.uc.edu/institutes-centers/ohio-innocence-project/innocence-network&quot;&gt;Innocence Network&lt;/a&gt;, the organization representing Innocence Projects in the United States and around the world. Recognized as a leading authority on wrongful convictions, Professor Godsey has lectured on the subject across the United States, and in Europe, Africa and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.law.ruc.edu.cn/Article/ShowArticle.asp?ArticleID=15909&quot;&gt;Asia&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Professor Godsey also represents criminal defendants before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit and occasionally defends criminal defendants in high-profile cases outside of the OIP, such as the Warren County murder case of &lt;a href=&quot;http://news.cincinnati.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/AB/20090722/NEWS0107/307220022/&quot;&gt;Ryan Widmer&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Professor Godsey is a regular commentator on issues relating to criminal law in both the local and national press. He is frequently interviewed by local television news and newspapers, and has appeared nationally on &lt;a href=&quot;http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0512/26/lkl.01.html&quot;&gt;Larry King Live&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/17562131/&quot;&gt;Dateline NBC&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cnn.com/&quot;&gt;CNN&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCx0Zstk9LQ&quot;&gt;ESPN&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/news/2010/05/100510_dna_disco_nh_sl.shtml&quot;&gt;BBC&lt;/a&gt;, Forensic Files, Court TV, the Oxygen Network, NPR and A&amp;amp;E's American Justice, among others. He has been quoted in papers and magazines across the country, including &lt;em&gt;The New York Times, Newsweek, People&lt;/em&gt; and the &lt;em&gt;Wall Street Journal&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;dots&quot;&gt;...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Diarmuid Hegarty, president of Griffith College, this week joined a prestigious list of academics and Nobel Prize winners to be awarded an Honorary Professorship by the Beijing Information, Science and Technology University (BISTU) in China.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Founder of Griffith College, Ireland's largest independent third-level institution, Mr Hegarty was also awarded Honorary Membership of the Chinese University's Academic Council reflecting the mutually beneficial relationship and friendship that has existed between Griffith College and BISTU for the past decade.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A member of An Taoiseach Enda Kenny's four-day mission to Shanghai and Beijing, this is Mr Hegarty's second trade mission to China. Noted for his near fluency in Chinese, he accompanied former Taoiseach Brian Cowan in 2008 and helped to secure education agreements to the value of &amp;euro;38 million to the Irish economy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Other notable Honorary Professors of the university include Nobel Prize winners, John Nash, the famed American mathematician, and Edmund Phelps, economist and Professor of Columbia University.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Griffith College has strong ties to China having partnerships with 16 universities throughout the country. Over the past ten years, many BISTU lecturers have been visiting scholars to Griffith College and students of BISTU have also graduated from Griffith College while on their year abroad.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;She only revealed her identity this year such was her fear of the reach of&amp;nbsp; Col Gaddaffi.&amp;nbsp; However, today Dr Fatima Hamroush, the Libyan doctor who moved to Ireland from Benghazi with her family sixteen years ago, has&amp;nbsp; become the newly liberated country&amp;rsquo;s first minister for health.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A&amp;nbsp; consultant ophthalmologist who has practiced at&amp;nbsp; Our Lady Of Lourdes Hospital&amp;nbsp; Drogheda since 2000, Dr Hamroush has also has been a director of Irish Libyan Emergency Aid, a humanitarian aid organisation working with Libyans and non-Libyans from all over the world to ensure medical aid and equipment gets to Libyan hospitals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr Hamroush leaves this week for Libya to take up her new appointment.&amp;nbsp; Hamroush has said that that she felt she could not refuse taking a post in the transitional government. She said, &amp;ldquo;I couldn&amp;rsquo;t refuse this challenge, it would be like a soldier refusing to go to the battlefield.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the height of the revolution last May, GCD radio lecturer Anne Daly, interviewed Dr Hamroush at her home in Julianstown County Meath where she provided a unique insight into the oppression in Libya under Gaddaffi and how it had affected her family and led to the premature death of her father Abdullah Hamroush.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

We are a theatre company with a social conscience and we will play anywhere and everywhere.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the past year we have brought Beckett's work into homeless shelters, care homes, psychiatric hospitals and atmospheric theatres.&lt;/p&gt;
