From the Troubles to Brexit: A deep dive into Northern Ireland with Tony Connelly

  • Resumen

  • In April all eyes were on Northern Ireland for celebrations to mark the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement, a historic peace agreement that ended the 30-year period of the Troubles.

    With the Stormont Assembly currently in a deadlock over Brexit issues and with local elections coming on the 18th of May, Northern Ireland once again seems at a crossroads.

    To shed some light on all this, we met up with Tony Connelly, long-time Europe Editor for the Irish public broadcaster RTÉ in Brussels and the world’s biggest Brexit expert. Tony grew up in Derry under the Troubles and covered the Northern Ireland peace process as an RTE reporter.

    Margot and Tony discussed all this, plus Derry Girls themed afternoon tea, a short-lived musical EU summit career and why Tony’s eldest son calls Brexit ‘Voldemort’.
