The event will also feature keynote speeches on Brexit and the prospects of EU integration from Hilary Benn, Chairman of the UK House of Commons Committee on Exiting the EU, and Herman Van Rompuy, President emeritus of the European Council, as well as a presentation on the citizens’ dialogue on future of Europe from Helen McEntee, T.D, Minister of State for EU Affairs.
