Mary Laffoy

Mary Laffoy is a judge of the Supreme Court of Ireland.^[1]

She was educated at University College Dublin and King's Inns.^[2] She was called to the Bar in 1971 and to the Inner Bar in 1987. She was appointed as a judge of the High Court in 1995.^[3]

She is most notable for presiding over the Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse from 1999–2003, an inquiry into child abuse, before causing controversy by resigning as its chair. In her letter of resignation from the commission of 2 September 2003, Laffoy outlined her belief that the actions of the Government and the Department of Education had frustrated her efforts and had slowed the commission's work.^[4] She felt that: "...the cumulative effect of those factors effectively negated the guarantee of independence conferred on the Commission and militated against it being able to perform its statutory functions." The commission was then chaired in 2003–09 by Seán Ryan.

She was appointed to the Supreme Court in July 2013.<sup>[1]

Maar in de fika dossiers staat vast niet wie in vredesnaam die blinde rechter van Hilversum was, of dat ie een mooi hondje had.

Nee, schat, ik ben niet net gister nog met ´m naar bed geweest !
Soms bestaan er wél stompzinnige vragen en zijn díé heel behulpzaam
