Nigel Farage amongst guests set to speak at ‘Irexit’ event in Dublin early next year

The event will take place at the RDS in February.

Nigel Farage is amongst a number of guests scheduled to speak at an event titled ‘Irexit: Freedom to Prosper' at the RDS in Dublin on 3 February next year.

An MEP for the UKIP party and prominent Euroskeptic, Farage is the most high-profile of the panel of guests at the event, which is being organised by the Europe of Freedom and Direct Democracy Group (EFDD), for whom Farage serves as President.

Galway Councillor James Charity will also speak at the event, as will Sunday Times columnist Cormac Lucey and journalist John Waters, with no charge for those who want to attend the event at the RDS, which kicks off at 11am on Saturday, 3 February.

An as-yet-unannounced ‘special guest’, meanwhile, will act as the moderator on the day.

Despite the fact that Ireland is considered to have done well out of a deal earlier this month that allowed Brexit negotiations to progress to the second phase, the title of the event (as well as the public stances of the speakers on the issue) suggests that the theory of Ireland’s exit from the European Union as a positive step will be the main focus of attention on the day.
