National Association Of General Practitioners
The Association of General Practitioners was set up in September 1987 by the late Dr Mary Grehan from Dundalk and others in response to difficulties surrounding the introduction of the capitation scheme. One of their first actions was to take a High Court case establishing the right of fee-per-item GPs to continue in the GMS. The AGP is most famous for its High Court defeat of the Government in 1995 in the withholding of tax case. This was a seminal case in Irish medicine and it demonstrated that GPs needed a separate organisation to properly represent their particular interests in Irish medicine. The AGP sought the right to become a negotiating body in The case was lost but in a detailed judgement, Mr Justice Rory O’Hanlon made it clear that all that was lacking was sufficient member numbers. The case was a strong one and costs were not awarded against the organisation. In May 2013, the organisation was relaunched as the National Association for General Practitioners to represent the particular needs of general practice and to negotiate and lobby on behalf of general practitioners at an individual and group level. The NAGP is committed to best practice within the primary care sector and will strive to promote and protect the high standards already in place. Through our website, our magazine, training days and other media, we will keep our members updated on issues in general practice and medicine in general – both in Ireland and abroad.

The Serp Institute Ireland
The Sexual Exploitation Research and Policy Institute is Ireland’s only independent research body dedicated to the study of commercial sexual exploitation. Our research influences academic discourse and creates useful knowledge for law and policy makers, practitioners, survivors and activists. The SERP Institute is an internationally-recognised centre of excellence in generating new evidence and informing policy to combat the harms of all forms of commercial sexual exploitation in Ireland and beyond. Our evidence has been utilised by lawmakers in Ireland, the UK, Europe and the US. The team has over fifty years of expertise combined in research, policy and advocacy work on these issues. Working on an all-island-of-Ireland basis, we monitor and investigate the nature and impact of the sex trade on victims, survivors and wider society, bridging the gap between research and frontline practice to disrupt the myths and expose the truth about the commercial sex trade. Originally established in 2017 as a research programme (The Sexual Exploitation Research Programme – SERP) by Emeritus Associate Professor Ursula Barry in the School of Social Policy, Social Work and Social Justice at University College Dublin, SERP was subsequently led by Associate Professor Dr Marie Keenan. In 2023, with the aid of philanthropic support provided via Community Foundation Ireland, we became a fully-fledged independent research and policy institute. The SERP Institute investigates, with integrity, the ways in which sexism, poverty, racism and individual vulnerabilities are exploited in the pursuit of profit. In doing so, the Institute’s work enhances the broader understanding of commercial sexual exploitation and the different manifestations of the sex trade in all its guises.

Sexual Exploitation Research Programme Serp Ucd
The Sexual Exploitation Research Project (SERP) was established in 2017 under the School of Social Policy, Social Work and Social Justice at University College Dublin. SERP conducts independent feminist research on all forms of commercial sexual exploitation that creates useful knowledge for law and policy makers, practitioners, survivors, supporters and activists. SERP aims to strengthen the evidence base on current and emerging issues of sexual exploitation in Ireland, and beyond. Our work is designed to enhance understanding of the commercial sex trade, its impact on women and girls who are sexually exploited, on communities and on society at large. In addition to strong links with international partners and allies, SERP also works collaboratively with support services for victims and survivors of prostitution and sex trafficking on the ground, seeking to bridge the gap between academia and frontline practice in generating new knowledge, insights and solutions on these issues. SERP also provides learning opportunities, training, evaluation and bespoke consultancy services on the theme of commercial sexual exploitation and related issues. We are always seeking new ways to communicate and share our work and its findings and implications. SERP is underpinned by the principles of gender equality, social justice and human rights. The research team is committed to rigorous, ethical, collaborative and participatory research practice. SERP is overseen by Associate Professor Ursula Barry who acts as the Principal Investigator with overall responsibility for the management and financial accountability of research projects, alongside Dr. Maureen Lyons (Research Manager). Our highly-experienced SERP team includes Dr. Monica O’Connor (Senior Researcher), Denise Charlton (Project Director) and Ruth Breslin (Researcher).
