The panel comprises Judge Mary Ellen Ring, High Court Judge and Chairperson GSOC, Noeline Blackwell, solicitor and new CEO of Dublin Rape Crisis Centre, Emily Logan, Chief Commissioner of the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission, Noel Whelan, Barrister, Author and Journalist, Paul Anthony McDermott Senior Counsel and media contributor, John Lonergan, former governor of Mountjoy Prison and top security prison, Portlaoise, now author, speaker and advocate on children’s issues.
