NIRWN’s Executive Director, Louise Coyle alongside sector colleagues met with Lord Paul Murphy who is leading an independent review of the Withdrawal Agreement and its effectiveness. Sense checking with Civil Society and creating the mechanisms with which to do so is critical if we are to thrive post EU Exit.

 

Issues discussed by those in attendance included:

 

• How can the Withdrawal Agreement be practically improved?
• Democratic consent mechanism,
• How can we improve having a say?
• Continued divergence and the impact North-South and East-West.
• North-South Cooperation
• Tourism and the Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA)
• Insurance
• Finance
• Social finance and much more

 

 

Thank you to Anthony Soares and The Centre for Cross Border Studies for convening and always ensuring rural women have a voice at the table.
