Description
Brexit had a profound impact on Ireland's relationship with the UK, contributing to the downfall of two British prime ministers and straining relations between the two countries. The ongoing dispute over the Irish border has caused significant tension. Ireland's Call tells the story of how Irish political leaders and officials successfully campaigned against a hard border on the island of Ireland. Through interviews and behind-the-scenes research, the book reveals the key role played by the EU institutions and member states in supporting the Irish position. The result was a negotiated settlement that shaped the terms of the UK's departure. The outcome of this diplomatic effort has had lasting consequences for relations between Ireland, the UK, and the EU, with ongoing tensions over the Northern Ireland Protocol remaining a contentious issue.
