The 25th Annual Burren Law School takes place this weekend. Held at the Burren College of Art in Ballyvaughan, its theme is “Law and the Art of the Possible: The Fifth Province?”
That refers to the Irish for the word province – cúige, or fifth – and an exploration of the idea that Ireland’s fifth province was not a physical place, but a creative ‘no man’s land.’
This year’s Chairperson is Ellen O’Malley Dunlop of the National Women’s Council of Ireland, and some of those in attendance include Martin O’Malley, former Governor of Maryland, Justice Mary Laffoy, Alison O’Connor and more.
With discussions this weekend set to focus on a range of topics, including Brexit, Gavin wanted to get an insight from broadcaster and journalist Eamonn Mallie about the attitudes towards Brexit in Northern Ireland, which is facing significant upheaval at a time when its devolved government in Stormont is not sitting.
Yesterday Gavin spoke with Eamonn where he began by giving an assessment of the North at this moment, and some of those challenges.
