Biography

Eilionóir is an Established Professor at the School of Law and Director of the Centre for Disability Law and Policy (CDLP), National University of Ireland Galway. She is a graduate of University College Cork (BCL, PhD), and received a scholarship from the Irish Research Council for Humanities and Social Sciences for her PhD research on advocacy for persons with disabilities in Ireland and Australia.   She published her first book with Cambridge University Press in 2011, entitled ‘From Rhetoric to Action: Implementing the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.’ This work was based on her postdoctoral research on comparative National Disability Strategies, conducted at the CDLP.   In her current role, Eilionóir represents the CDLP on a number of EU-funded research projects in the fields of access to justice, EU implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, active citizenship and disability (DISCIT), and legal capacity reform (PERSON). At a national level she is also actively engaged in processes of legal capacity reform, and co-ordinates a working group of civil society organizations on this issue, as well as a group of organizations supporting the emergence of a National Platform of Self Advocates with Intellectual Disability.   Internationally, she has supported the Secretariat of the UN Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, and in particular the working group which prepared a draft General Comment on Article 12 (legal capacity). She is also actively engaged with the UN Open-Ended Working Group on Ageing which aims to strengthen the international human rights of older persons.   She has published widely in international peer reviewed journals on disability rights issues, and is also one of the editors of the European Yearbook of Disability Law. Her next monograph on Access to Justice for Persons with Disabilities will be published by Ashgate in 2014. Eilionóir’s current research priorities which include legal capacity, advocacy, access to justice, and the intersectionality of disability, gender and ageing.
