Eileen Evason

Advice NI are deeply shocked and saddened by the passing of Professor Eileen Evason.

Eileen was a true champion for people’s rights and a strong advocate for independent advice services. Her unique contribution to social security law and practice, equality and fairness knew no bounds and this was clearly manifested in the positive influence on achieving welfare mitigations in Northern Ireland which helped to protect many vulnerable people and families here. Eileen will be sorely missed and our thoughts and condolences go out to her family and friends at this time.
