Additional Information

The Immigration, Asylum and Citizenship Bar Association (IACBA) is an association of barristers who are members of the Bar of Ireland. We specialise in immigration (including EU free movement of persons), asylum and citizenship law, in addition to related areas such as employment permits, family reunification and trafficking in human persons. Their aim is to provide relevant continuing professional development seminars, information and public events to better inform barristers and the wider public of these areas of law.

The EU Bar Association (EUBA) is a specialist bar association for Irish barristers who practise in the area of EU Law. It was established in December 2016 with the purpose of providing a forum for barristers who practise or possess expertise in the area of EU law or who would wish to develop such practice or expertise. The EUBA provides specialist education to its members through seminars, conferences and morning briefing sessions which seek to keep members up to date on developments in a complex and fast moving area of EU law. The EUBA promotes the Bar as a specialist provider of advocacy and legal advice in this area. For more information, go to www.euba.ie
