We are delighted to be one of three organisations awarded a transformational grant by the RTÉ Toy Show Appeal through Community Foundation Ireland which will bring us significantly closer to our goal of establishing a Children and Young People's Law Centre for Ireland.
Demand for our specialist service has increased year-on-year, supporting a broad range of issues including education and disability rights, as well as children and young people with experience of being in care.
We are especially grateful to our Youth Advisory Group, whose input helps ensure that the voices of children and young people shape the design and delivery of the service.
Thank you @rte Toy Show Appeal and @CommunityFound and congratulations to all of the excellent awardees this year.

At a time of intensifying climate and environmental crises, Ireland cannot afford to ignore the impact that unchecked aviation emissions have on our climate and environment.
It is simply unjustifiable for government to seek to codify a ‘head in the sand’ approach into legislation by disapplying its own climate law, while allowing aviation emissions to grow unchecked.

Landmark legal challenge of the Civil Legal Aid Act 1995:
Community Law & Mediation’s client has been granted leave to bring a landmark judicial review challenging the refusal of legal aid for his Equal Status case before the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC).
Our client is a 33-year-old Deafblind man with Usher Syndrome, a rare genetic condition that affects hearing, vision and balance. He had started a complaint to the WRC alleging discrimination on the basis of disability and a failure to make reasonable accommodation. He cannot afford to pay for a lawyer, so he applied for legal aid.
His application was refused on the basis that cases before the WRC fall outside the scope of the Civil Legal Aid Act 1995.
Given the nature of his disability, the complexity of anti-discrimination law and the procedures before the WRC, he would not be able to prepare his case and effectively represent himself before the WRC.
In taking this judicial review, our client is seeking an order quashing the decision to refuse his application for legal aid. The case argues that section 27 of the Civil Legal Aid Act 1995 is invalid, inconsistent with the Constitution, and incompatible with the State’s obligations under the European Convention on Human Rights.
This case illustrates, in practical terms, many of the issues identified in the Government’s review of the outdated Civil Legal Aid Scheme. It also exposes the failure to uphold and apply the principles of access to justice established in the Airey v Ireland case of 50 years ago.

A new environmental survey released today revealed significant improvements with urban areas continuing to solve their litter issues.
The survey, carried out by An Taisce for the Irish Business Against Litter Group, details how a trend has emerged where the majority of urban areas improved year on year in terms of littering - However, coffee cups, fast food wrappers, plastic bags and cigarette butts are still found as the main sources of litter on our streets.
Did you know that your right to live in an environment free of litter and illegal waste is protected in local, national, and international law?
Our guide on Littering and Illegal Dumping, part of our local environmental rights hub, can teach you about these rights:
