"Brexit, the Irish and European Perspectives"

Ms. Friel has previously worked on Brexit with the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade in Dublin from 2015-2017. Before taking up duty in New York in August 2018, she served as Deputy Director of Brexit and North South Cooperation in the Ireland, UK and Americas Division.

Her talk will focus on the significance of Brexit from both the Irish and European Union points of view.

Following Deputy Friel's presentation, there will be a Q. & A. led by Dr. William Abbott, History Department and Co-Director of Irish Studies.

This free event is sponsored by Fairfield University's Irish Studies Program and co-sponsored by the International Studies Program.

All are welcome.
