Irish Foreign Affairs Minister To Travel To Newry To Discuss Brexit
Irish Foreign Affairs Minister Charlie Flanagan is to travel to Newry today to attend a series of meetings to discuss the implications of Brexit.
The meetings, with business leaders and communities in Northern Ireland, will involve discussing the Government's approach to the challenges ahead.
Minister Flanagan said: "While there is no doubt that a UK departure from the EU poses serious challenges which will impact on the lives of all of the people of this island, the Irish Government is clear about its steadfast commitment to the Good Friday Agreement and to reconciliation. We are responding to the desire for a broad conversation with civic society on these matters and my visits to Northern Ireland along with the upcoming All-Island Civic Dialogue in Dublin on 2nd November are key parts of our approach to this engagement."
During his visit, Minister Flanagan will also meet with a number of organisations promoting peace building and reconciliation with support from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade's Reconciliation Fund.
