Irish political leaders have been told that they “can make a difference” in the UK’s debate on European Union membership ahead of June’s referendum.
Speaking at the Institute of International and European Affairs in Dublin yesterday, prominent British pro-European campaigner Charles Grant said Irish leaders should make their views known as “they are respected as very close partners, allies of the British”.
