For the last 29 years, I have been engaged in legal activism both in legal practice and through my role as a consumer and human rights advocate. That advocacy has brought me into contact with many public officials across the UK, Europe, the USA and Australia. It has also brought me into close contact with journalists, many of whom were keen to report the detriments suffered by individuals and how authorities intended to resolve these deficits, or not as the case may be.

I return to the growing development of the National Centre for Research and Remembrance, or the NCRR, and examine how the failure of non-recurrence has all the potential to fail the very concept of social justice the centre was intended to deliver.

This is the 7th article and podcast & article that I have produced about Ireland’s National Centre for Research & Remembrance (NCRR), seeking as I do, to highlight the silver-lining for this great endeavour.
