Human Dignity Award Explained
The Human Dignity Award is an award made by the All-Party Oireachtas Life and Dignity Group, recognising people who have contributed to human dignity.[1] The award was set up in 2014 by Senator Rónán Mullen.
It was originally awarded by the Human Dignity Group, which was founded in 2008 by Mullen.[2] In January 2021, the All-Party Oireachtas Life and Dignity Group,[3] which is co-chaired by TDs Peter Fitzpatrick and Carol Nolan, was established, on whose behalf the award is now awarded.[4] It is presented annually by the Irish: [[Ceann Comhairle]] of Dáil Éireann (the lower chamber of the Oireachtas) or by the Cathaoirleach of Seanad Éireann (the Upper house of the Oireachtas).
