I’m 71 and I had never been on a protest march until last Saturday, in Arklow. It was wonderful and emotional being in the middle of hundreds of decent Irish people finally standing up to our shamelessly self-serving government.

We the Board of the Irish Penal Reform Trust, Ireland’s leading penal reform NGO, write to express our serious and collective concern in respect to s.55 Charities Act 2009.
