Today, we’ll hear the final programme in this series about how the fledgling Irish state developed its unique standing on the world stage over the course of the last one hundred years. The programme will be focused on the state’s work on the UN Security Council, and how that contributed to its standing. We’ll hear from former ambassador to the UN Noel Dorr, about Ireland’s experience with the security council, and what happened in 2001 after the 9/11 attacks while Ireland was chair of the council. We’ll also hear some strong opinions from Seán Ó Huiginn about the difficulties with the Northern Ireland Protocol, and the challenges that are particular to that situation. We’ll hear a panel discussion, too, with journalist Gráinne Ní Aodha from PA, Dr Piaras Mac Éinrí from UCC, and Fionnuala Ní Aoláin, Professor of Law at the University of Minnesota and UN Special Rapporteur. This series is presented by Dónall Ó Maolfabhail. This is a Scun Scan Production, with support from The Department of Foreign Affairs and the BAI.
