Formerly a judge of the Supreme Court, she retired in June 2017. 

Ms Justice Mary Laffoy also served as chair of the Citizens’ Assembly.

The Law Reform Commission's role is to keep the law under independent, objective and expert review and to conduct research with a view to the reform of the law. 

This includes the development of law, its codification (including its simplification and modernisation) and the revision and consolidation of statute law.

It encourages active participation by citizens in the process of law reform in Ireland and sees law reform as inclusive.
