BrExit, Voice and Loyalty: Post-Brexit governance challenges for Ireland, the UK and the EU

Professor Muiris MacCarthaigh

Thursday, April 27th. This event was free and open to the public.

Brexit has had enormous implications for political relationships within and between Ireland, the UK and the EU respectively. In this presentation, Prof Muiris MacCarthaigh of Queen’s University Belfast examined developments in these relationships since the 2016 referendum that resulted in the UK’s departure from the European Union, the current impasse over the ‘Protocol’, and the future of governance arrangements across these jurisdictions.
