Sam is currently a Climate Ambassador with An Táisce, and was formerly the Environmental Officer for Trinity College Dublin Student Union, a Caseworker for the Irish Innocence Project and Librarian for Du Law Society.

PILA also wishes to bid farewell and thank Trainee Solicitor Gavan Mc Laughlin who has completed his secondment with PILA. His energy and skillset were a really welcome addition to the PILA team and he was very popular with PILA and FLAC staff and fitted in really well. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Gavan. PILA wishes him well and is looking forward to working with Sam.
