The Trial – Lifford Old Courthouse

The Trial is a compelling film and sound installation on healthcare and human rights in the Irish criminal justice system. On four screens, three characters – Tommy, Charlie, Neilí – tell the real-life stories of those who have been held and worked in Irish penal institutions during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

The Trial is an artwork created by Sinéad McCann, made in collaboration with men from the Bridge Project Dublin, who have lived prison experience, and UCD historians,Catherine Cox and Fiachra Byrne.
