Subsequent Directors are Mr Alex Schuster B.L., Mr Anthony Collins S.C., Dr Cathryn Costello, Mr Noel Travers B.L., Mr Andrew Beck B.L. and Mr Jonathan Tomkin B.L.
In the Centre’s inaugural publication, Senator Mary Robinson S.C., wrote:-
“The Irish Centre for European Law at Trinity College Dublin has been formed to provide a specialist response to the enormous challenge of the Community’s Internal Market programme. To meet this challenge the Centre has created a unique linkage between legal practitioners, academic lawyers and representatives of the wide range of sectors affected by European Law.”
The Centre has been associated with the School of Law at Trinity College Dublin since foundation. It maintains strong links with other educational organisations such as the Academy of European Law (ERA) in Trier, Germany. Legal expertise from Northern Ireland is represented on the Board and in the Centre’s membership.
