Laoise de Brún is the founder of The Countess, an Irish advocacy organisation she started in September 2020. A former broadcast journalist who made documentaries for BBC and Channel 4, she later trained as a barrister.
The Countess is named after Countess Markievicz, the Irish revolutionary who fought in the 1916 Easter Rising and became the first female minister in a modern democracy. In five years, The Countess has won several campaigns and has more recently drafted legislation to separate prison placement from gender recognition certificates, which has passed its first stage.
