Holywell Trust’s Brexit Focus Podcast returns for its 5th episode and this month Gerard, Paul and guests delve into the ramifications Brexit presents less than one year away from the UK’s withdrawal from the European Union. Last month the Community Foundation for Northern Ireland hosted an event with the grantees of their Brexit Dialogue Fund at the MAC in Belfast. Paul spoke with Andrew McCracken, the CFNI CEO, to outline why the organisation supported groups discussing the Brexit issue. He also met with David Holloway from Community Dialogue whose findings show the double impact of Brexit and the lack of a functioning Northern Ireland Executive plus Emma Campbell and Anna Grindall of the Children’s Law Centre who enlightens us on how children near the border are being affected by Brexit. Patricia McEwen, the Regional Secretary of Unison for Northern Ireland, joins us to promote her call for trade unions to engage in a day of mobilisation at the beginning of May. This month Les Allemby (Chief Commissioner for Human Rights in Northern Ireland), Bernard Ryan (Professor in Migration Law) and Simon Barr (Immigration Lawyer) answers some of your issues and questions on the EHIC Card, the rights of Irish people in the UK post-Brexit and how the Home Office is currently treating individuals who were born in other European Countries.
