An Evening with Tony Connelly of RTÉ News

9 January 2019

LILA, in association with Linklaters, is delighted to have hosted a sold-out evening with Tony Connelly, Europe Editor for RTÉ News and Current Affairs.

Tony has reported extensively on the period before and after the Brexit referendum. He is the author of Brexit and Ireland: the Dangers, the Opportunities and the Inside Story of the Irish Response. He has come to be seen as a pre-eminent writer and commentator on Brexit. His analysis of the negotiations has been described as a rich resource for future historians. In December 2018, he was awarded the Outstanding Achievement Award for Journalism at the UCD Business Journalists Awards

Chaired by Professor Conor Gearty, the lively discussion was followed by a drinks reception at Linklaters, and then yet more debate into the small hours at The Jugged Hare.
