I can confirm that it is a truly horrible, humiliating experience to be on a shortlist of 3 and to be the only one kicked out in the cold by getting neither the 1st or 2nd prize. I wouldn't wish what The SLS did to me last night on my worst enemy.

This will be EPIC. Despite 19 years in prison, Queen Chrissie still looks fantastic. 🥰 Tracy-Ann Oberman

I've a feeling Chrissie's gonna get out on Thursday, then fade into the background for a few months, until an explosive return at Xmas/the 40th, by which time Kim Medcalf's Sam & (hopefully?) Michelle Ryan's Zoe will be back. Just imagine. #fantasyeastenders 🤩🤩 Chris Clenshaw

"And what about Jake?" Chris Clenshaw please tell me Chrissie answers this vital question posed by Sharon before the end of the week?! Let Jake be waiting for Chrissie! 😭

This photo absolutely screams "new owners of the Queen Vic". BBC EastEnders the potential...

I called it! ❤️

Chris Clenshaw we await the official announcement! #undernewmanagement

Delighted to be a part of this forthcoming exciting collection of works on #surrogacy law & policy. Well done Kirsty Horsey, Katherine Wade & Zaina Mahmoud || زينة محمود🔻 & thanks for inviting me on board!

I need to find reasons to come here more often. 🌞 Ollscoil na Gaillimhe | University of Galway #nofilterneeded

The Government is to drop controversial plans to introduce hate speech laws, which had been criticised by its own backbenchers as well as free speech groups and tech billionaire Elon Musk. irishtimes.com/politics/2024/…

Many thanks to terrific colleagues Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona for inviting me to present an international seminar on 'Surrogacy and Filiation under Irish Law' in which I critiqued aspects of the #surrogacy provisions in Ireland's Health (Assisted Human Reproduction) Act 2024. 👶🤰

Hasta Mañana.

Another great character leaves us after a week. 🙄 BBC EastEnders, all these returns of icons have done is highlight that 50%+ of the permanent characters are dire. Give me David (and Joe!), Jake, Chrissie & Jane over most of the current lot anyday.

My only hope is that there will be some massive reason that all the iconic BBC EastEnders characters who've popped back recently return together for the 40th. However, it feels like these special weeks are instead designed to END their stories, albeit in a fairly satisfying way.

We're months from the 40th & it's shaping up to be a damp squib. The cast in place isn't nearly as strong as that for the 25th & 30th & if the 40th revolves around the umpteenth wedding of Ian Beale to ghost/doppelganger Cindy then the show is finished. BBC EastEnders

My latest op-ed in the Irish Examiner on Irish law's flawed approach to #surrogacy that allows a surrogate to veto the Parental Order process, but are Stephen Donnelly, Helen McEntee TD & Roderic O’Gorman TD listening? irishexaminer.com/opinion/commen…

In today’s Irish Examiner, Brian Tobin (Associate Professor, School of Law) points out flaws in new surrogacy legislation and urges Ministers Donnelly, McEntee, and O’Gorman to prioritise surrogate-born children in future amendments. Read more: irishexaminer.com/opinion/commen…

I look forward to this event later & feel very honoured to have been requested by University of Galway Law students to come and speak to them about a career as a legal academic Ollscoil na Gaillimhe | University of Galway.
