Since the signing of the Good Friday Agreement in 1998 there has been a seamless border on the island of Ireland. Brexit brings with it the possibility of a return to a hard border between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland as well as the potential for renewed instability on the island. Join us for a panel discussion of Brexit’s impact on Ireland, North and South, as well as the role of the United States in the region.
Speakers will include:
Katy Hayward, Political Sociologist, Queen’s University Belfast and Fellow, The Senator George J Mitchell Institute for Global Peace, Security and Justice
Enda Kenny, Taoiseach of Ireland, 2011-2017
Daniel Mulhall, Ireland’s 18th Ambassador to the United States
