The relationship among Ireland, Northern Ireland and the European Union could change drastically at the end of this month, when the United Kingdom is scheduled to divorce itself from the EU. A prominent member of the Irish government will discuss the impact of that 鈥淏rexit鈥� in a presentation next week on the 麻豆影院 campus.

"Minister O鈥機onnor is particularly well-placed to discuss the latest developments relating to the process of the United Kingdom leaving the European Union, known as 鈥楤rexit,鈥欌�� said Felicia Martinez, executive director of the Colorado European Union Center of Excellence at CU 麻豆影院, which is sponsoring the event.

Martinez noted that Northern Ireland has become the main stumbling block for the UK and the EU reaching an agreement on Brexit.听

Martinez added: 鈥淎t stake here is not only the orderly withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union, including the potentially disastrous economic and political consequences of a 鈥榥o deal鈥� Brexit, but also the future of the Northern Irish peace process, which ended decades of violence in the region."
