ICCL has learned with great sadness about the death of our friend and colleague Dr Vicky Conway. Vicky was a brilliant and ground-breaking academic who made an enormous contribution to Irish law. Vicky was also committed to using her expertise to help victims of human rights violations and to deliver justice to individuals and families who have been failed by our justice system. As a fearless voice for accountability and oversight in all areas of policing Vicky played a crucial role in reform of An Garda Síochána – notably through her work on the Policing Authority and Commission on the Future of Policing in Ireland. Vicky was an academic, broadcaster and activist of unmatched integrity, passion and good humour. We will miss her dearly and we extend our deepest sympathy to her mother, her siblings and her many friends and colleagues. She will be with us every day as we work for an Ireland that is more just and equal for everyone.
