Alongside monograph proposals based on her doctoral research and work in the area of language and identity, R¨®is¨ªn is currently working on projects which analyse the Irish State¡¯s litigation approach before the CJEU, the development of the right to privacy in Irish law and the patterns of competence recognition in EU law.
