Equality law expert Professor Evelyn Collins has been appointed as chair of the Parades Commission for Northern Ireland.
She previously served as chief executive of the Equality Commission for Northern Ireland from March 2000 to January 2023, overseeing a broad remit under Northern Ireland’s equality laws.
She was appointed last year as an honorary professor in Queen’s University Belfast School of Law on the basis of her expertise in equality law in Northern Ireland and across Europe.
Her appointment as chair took effect from 1 January 2024 alongside the appointment of three new commissioners, including barrister Nicki Rountree.
Two further commissioners, including principal public prosecutor Rachel Quigley, will take up appointment with effect from 1 April 2024.
All of the appointments — made by Northern Ireland secretary Chris Heaton-Harris — will be for three years.
