We welcomed Ger Deering from Ombudsman's Office to Maynooth University to launch the "We are here, HEAR" exhibition in the Maynooth University Library today. The exhibition of photographs and stories is live until 14/03 and tells of the barriers refugees have faced accessing Higher Education in Ireland.
