www.jcfj.ie/2025/04/25/i... When we try to distill Francis’ influence on our work, a series of words come to mind: Mercy, Justice, and Encounter. Whether it is with a neighbour, a stranger, and ultimately God himself, Francis invited us to live lives of joyful expectation of rich encounters.

Delighted to share the publication of my first lead-author article! We discuss the needs & experiences of foreign national women in Irish prisons, as their narrative is often missing from research in this area. We also highlight adaptation strategies undertaken in an attempt to navigate prison life

Yesterday, I had my first doctoral seminar at Leuven Institute of Criminology. My paper outlined the quantitative turn in "pains" research, and argued that it both abstracts the pain of others and blurs the ethical critique necessary.

Pope Francis’s "Urbi et Orbi" Easter speech: “How much contempt is stirred up at times towards the vulnerable, the marginalized and migrants...I appeal to all those in positions of political responsibility in our world not to yield to the logic of fear which only leads to isolation from others.”

For me, I will remember Francis as the Pope who called the Holy Family Church in Gaza every day as the city, and even the church itself, was bombed by Israel.

Unless we have experienced similar tragedy it is impossible to understand the pain that has been brought on this family in Galway today. There is no excuse for our roads and streets not being safe for children to walk and cycle along. www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2025...

Since Luas Cross City was finished, Dublin's Parnell St is likely one of the worst cases of redundant space for cars. It's an underused dual carriageway in the heart of the city centre with pinch points at both ends. The vast majority of people are pedestrians but footpaths are cramped.
