Irish Security and Defence in a New European Context

Join us, either in person in the Royal Irish Academy (19 Dawson Street, Dublin 2), or online for a half-day seminar.

Free - Hybrid event. Tickets available for in-person or online (livestream)

With the recent publication of Professor Dame Louise Richardson’s Report on the Consultative Forum on International Security and the Government’s imminent publication of its implementation plan for the Commission on the Future of the Defence Forces, The Royal Irish Academy’s Standing Committee for International Affairs are taking this time as an opportunity to stand back and survey Irish security and defence policy in a rapidly changing European security environment. This hybrid seminar will be composed of several expert presentations, followed by a wide-ranging, moderated Q&A session.

Speakers include:

• Professor Maura Conway (DCU)
• Judy Dempsey (Carnegie Europe)
• Barrie Robinson (retired Political Director, DFA)
• Mark Mellett (retired Chief of Staff, DFI)

Full programme schedule to follow.
