What this episode covers

The majority in Northern Ireland voted to remain in the EU but has failed to insist on a course which is, arguably, very much in its best interests. What are the divisions within Northern society that have led to the current situation, and how will Brexit play out for the different communities there? In this episode, we'll hear from Glenn Paterson, novelist and author of Backstop Land and Claire Hanna, SDLP MP for Belfast South. Dave O’Connell, Editor of the Connacht Tribune, moderates the discussion. Claire Hanna participated in the event via video. This First Thought Talk took place in front of a live audience in September 2020 as part of Galway International Arts Festival's Autumn Edition.
