Stepping down after 5 years as Director Nasc, the Migrant & Refugee Rights Centre. It’s been an absolute honour to work with the great staff who link migrants and refugees to their rights in Ireland. A pleasure to have been on the hiring committee that appointed our current brilliant CEO, Fiona Hurley ☘️

Nasc & other orgs at STAD Standing Together Against Direct Provision continue to call for HIQA inspections in ALL accomm & training for all staff.
