The Equality Society (University College Dublin), will be hosting their inaugural public “Championing Equality” lecture on the 28th February 2008 at 7.30pm, with guest speakers Katherine Zappone & Ann Louise Gilligan, who will speak about their own experiences of inequalities and how they are challenging inequality in Ireland. The public lecture will be chaired by Judy Walsh, Barrister of Law & Head of the Equality Studies Centre in U.C.D.


Katherine and Ann Louise are currently waiting to hear when their appeal to the High Court decision not to recognise their marriage will be heard in the Supreme Court. It is expected that this appeal will be heard late this year or early in 2009.



The UCD Equality Society has among its aims to increase awareness, as well as generating discussion about equality issues, both on campus and nationally. ISL interpretation will be provided for at the public lecture.
