CAHSS Faculty Speaks on “Brexit, the Border, and Irish Current Affairs “in Delray

David Kilroy. Ph.D., faculty in NSU’s College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences (CAHSS), was the featured speaker at Tír na mBláth, the south Florida branch of Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann, the primary Irish organization dedicated to the promotion of the music, dance, language and culture of Ireland. Kilroy’s topic was “Brexit, the Border, and Irish Current Affairs.”

At issue: the 310-mile Irish border, the land boundary that separates Northern Ireland —, which is part of the United Kingdom — from the Republic of Ireland, which is an independent country and a member of the European Union.  And now Brexit — the UK’s decision to leave the European Union — is threatening to rip open old grievances and unravel the fragile peace in Northern Ireland.

Tír na mBláth is providing an internship in the Winter semester, open to all undergraduate students who demonstrate a genuine interest in learning about and promoting Irish culture.  Preference is given to students pursuing the Irish Studies Minor offered by the Department of History and Political Science (DHPS) in CAHSS. Kilroy is professor and Interim Chair in DHPS.
