The Minister for State at the Department of Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs has presented a group of Ballymun-based students, who participated in an NUI, Galway law course through an interactive video link, with Certificates of Attendance at the Ballymun Civic Centre, Dublin.

The Housing Law and Policy course, the first of its kind in Ireland, was developed and presented by Dr Padraic Kenna of the Faculty of Law, NUIG in conjunction with the Ballymun Community Law Centre. The lectures were video linked in real time to community volunteers, welfare staff, local authority tenants and their representatives, and other interested parties living in Ballymun. Over 12 weeks, the Ballymun group gathered in the Council Chamber Civic Offices to link via video with some 60 Bachelor of Laws and Bachelor of Civil Law students at NUIG for the interactive weekly classes.  

Plans are under way to continue the collaboration between NUI Galway and the Ballymun Community Law Centre to offer the interactive course next year.
