LawGov Research Carnival #6: Dr Róisín Á Costello

Dr Róisín Á Costello is an Assistant Professor of law at the School of Law and Government where her research focuses on privacy and data protection law, the interaction of EU constitutionalism and private power in digital spaces and the relationship between language, literature and identity in Irish law.

Róisín has been a local expert for the World Bank’s Report on Women, Business and the Law since 2015 and is presently a member of the Trinity College Dublin COVID-19 Observatory, investigating the impact of the pandemic on data protection for a forthcoming report on that topic. She is an investigator on the IRC/ESRC funded project on the cross-border data protection concerns raised by Brexit and the organiser of the upcoming conference ‘The Constitutional Future of the Irish Language’ to be hosted in co-operation with the Centre for Constitutional Law and Governance at Trinity College Dublin and which is funded by the Society of Legal Scholars.

Alongside monograph proposals based on her doctoral research and work in the area of language and identity, Róisín is currently working on projects which analyse the Irish State’s litigation approach before the CJEU, the development of the right to privacy in Irish law and the patterns of competence recognition in EU law.
