All of the photos from yesterday's launch in the Rediscovery Centre are up on our website now, thanks to everyone who joined us to launch our Fight for your Rights booklet!

Ballymun Community Law Centre launched our new publication 'Fight for your Rights' on the 2nd September 2026 in the Rediscovery Centre, Ballymun. The booklet is a newly updated and revised publication developed in collaboration with Trinity College Dublin students

Massive thanks from the BCLC team to everyone who joined us to launch our Fight for your Rights booklet today. We were so heartened to see a full room of people welcoming the updated booklet and supporting the importance of community education on human rights. Thanks to all of the community members, public reps, students, local groups and our colleagues in other organisations who took the time to come along.

We look forward to sharing the official photos soon and publishing the booklet as an online resource. In the meantime, get in touch if you'd like a copy of the booklet or want to arrange a talk for a community group.

Pictured are the Minister for Justice, Jim O'Callaghan; Director of IHREC, Deirdre Malone; local business owner, Robert Murphy; and our own Chairperson, Paula Reynolds who all spoke about the importance of human rights being grounded in communities.
