Fieldtrip to Brussels and the EU institutions
Students from Maynooth University recently participated in a one week fieldtrip to Brussels and the EU institutions. Partly sponsored by the Jean Monnet Chair in European Integration (Erasmus Plus), students of European Studies, Politics, History and Sociology participated. It was a particularly exciting week to be in Brussels as the trip coincided with a dramatic Brexit European Council summit meeting. The group was led by John O’ Brennan and Francis Jacobs, former head of the European Parliament office in Dublin. Arriving on St Patrick’s Day, students met with Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs, Simon Coveney TD in the Grand Place. The Tánaiste spoke to students about the Brexit talks and Ireland’s place in the European Union. (click on title for more details)
