DESCRIPTION: The organisations who work with the VAS are engaged in activis
 m\, with particular emphasis on asserting\, protecting and advancing the r
 ights of marginalised groups. This CPD considers the road to activism take
 n by a leading human rights activist\, Bernadette Devlin McAliskey\, and c
 onsiders the type of work involved in grassroots organisations and the imp
 act this work can have. \n\n Many barristers who undertake work on behalf 
 of the VAS have also queried the level to which they can involve themselve
 s in activism. Seán O’Sullivan BL\, activist barrister and member of th
 e Professional Practices Committee of the Bar of Ireland\, will provide gu
 idance to practitioners on the limits\, if any\, which the code of conduct
  imposes on them in this regard and can answer specific queries from atten
 dees. \n\n Finally\, the Irish Council for Civil Liberties will discuss th
 e kind of activism practitioners and others can provide to NGOs and the im
 pact this has on wider society. \n\n Following the event\, please join us 
 in the sheds for drinks and take the opportunity to meet some of the VAS C
 ommittee members who can tell you about getting involved with the VAS as a
  practitioner\, or the kind of assistance which we can provide to your org
 anisation. \n\n \n\n Moderator: VAS Coordinator\, Gemma McLoughlin-Burke B
