Discussing privacy in the 21st century at the Burren Law School

Privacy in the 21st century – an oxymoron perhaps? This is the theme of the Burren Law School this weekend in Ballyvaughan, Co Clare. Tánaiste Joan Burton, Hon Mr Justice George Birmingham and Karlin Lillington of this parish are among those discussing whether we are living in an Orwellian nightmare where governments spy on us through digital chicanery and whistleblowers live in exile. Digital-rights campaigners, politicians and artists will gather in the medieval castle of Burren College of Art to wonder at the world through a Brehon prism; burrenlawschool.org
