I am volunteering year-round as a Justice Facilitator in the Four Courts. Each week, I’ll be based there to support people from across Ireland who are navigating the justice system.
At present, no such service exists in Ireland—free, direct, and accessible guidance for ordinary people facing the courts. Too often, barriers like complexity, cost, and intimidation prevent citizens from exercising their right to justice. My goal is to break down those barriers and ensure that everyone, regardless of their circumstances, has someone to stand beside them throughout the process.
Beyond the Four Courts, I will also assist individuals nationwide in engaging with over 6,000 Peace Commissioners and more than 70 District Judges through Ireland’s 100 District Courts. Together, we will use statutory law to safeguard and vindicate fundamental rights.
This initiative will help make justice in Ireland more open, fair, and accessible to everyone.

Thank you for your support—together, we can make access to justice a reality for all.
