As part of the ‘Future of Europe Project’ in partnership with the Financial Times, the Trinity Long Room Hub’s latest Behind the Headlines discussion focuses on an issue at the heart of Europe’s founding freedoms – the border question and the free movement of people, goods and services.
The issue of migration and the movement of people into Europe and throughout its jurisdictions has challenged the very core of the EU institutions in recent years. The UK’s exit from the European Union now poses new questions which bring the border dilemma closer to home as Ireland faces the possibility of the reinstatement of a hard border between Ireland and Northern Ireland.
To discuss these issues on January 17th, we will be joined by Financial Times columnist Janan Ganesh and business editor Sarah Gordon, Trinity College Dublin winner of the Future of Europe essay competition Marie Sophie Hingst and Second Secretary General at the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Director General of the European Union Division with a particular focus on Brexit, Rory Montgomery.
Speakers:
Janan Ganesh
Sarah Gordon
Marie Sophie Hingst
Rory Montgomery, Second Secretary General at the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Director General of the European Union Division.
