Members of the Law School are involved in a variety of research projects ranging from those focused on law reform in Ireland to international, comparative and interdisciplinary projects. Such projects have received external funding from public bodies such as the Irish Research Council, the European Commission and the International Labour Organisation, as well as research organisations, including Amárach Research and Future Analytics. In 2015, Dr. Mary Rogan was awarded a European Research Council Starting Grant worth €1.5million for a project entitled 'Prisons: the rule of law, accountability and rights'.
