Tony Connelly, Europe Editor for RTE in Brussels, proudly introduced his new book: Brexit & Ireland: The Dangers, the Opportunities, and the Inside Story of the Irish Response.
Brexit represents potentially the single greatest economic and foreign-policy challenge to the Irish state since the Second World War. There is hardly any area of Irish life that won’t be affected.
More than any other journalist, RTE’s long-time Brussels correspondent Tony Connelly has been helping the public make sense of the implications of Brexit for Ireland.
Now, he tells the dramatic inside story of the Irish response to this political and economic earthquake and lays out the agenda for the uncertain years ahead.
Based on extensive interviews with insiders in Dublin, London, Belfast and Brussels, Brexit and Ireland is full of insights about how the EU actually works, and of colorful and revealing stories from the corridors of power. It is a must-read for anyone who cares about Ireland’s future.
