Britain and Europe: The Endgame – An Irish Perspective

Roundtable Discussion and Book Launch followed by wine reception
Speakers:
Dáithí O’Ceallaigh, former Irish Ambassador in London

The roundtable will discuss some of the key findings and arguments contained in the latest publication of the Institute for International and European Affairs (IIEA) on the United Kingdom’s fraught relationship with the European Union: Britain and Europe: The Endgame – An Irish Perspective. The major new publication from the IIEA examines the consequences of a possible ‘Brexit’ – British withdrawal from the EU – from a number of perspectives, including: the political and economic future of the United Kingdom; options for an external relationship with Europe; the impact on the EU as a whole and especially Ireland of Brexit, with particular reference to the political, economic and business dimensions of Irish-British relations. The volume pays particular attention to the possible implications of Brexit for Northern Ireland.
