At the first IIEA Young Professionals Network (YPN) event of 2023, the IIEA will welcome Bertie Ahern, former Taoiseach (Prime Minister) of Ireland.
According to a poll by The Sunday Times in November 2022, 50% of young people in the Republic of Ireland between the ages of 18 to 34 feel that they “do not fully understand the history of the Troubles”. To commemorate the 25th Anniversary of the signing of the Good Friday Agreement, Bertie Ahern, Taoiseach (Prime Minister) of Ireland from 1997 to 2008, and co-negotiator and co-signatory of the Good Friday Agreement, speaks to the IIEA’s Young Professionals Network regarding the progress that has been made on the island of Ireland towards achieving peace, as well as the challenges the Good Friday Agreement, and peace more broadly, might face over the next 25 years.
