As 2017 begins, the Deputy Chair of the European Movement in Northern Ireland (EMNI), Ciarán Hanna, gives his personal thoughts on the eventful year that was, and what is possibly ahead for the EMNI in 2017.
The European Movement in Northern Ireland has welcomed the report by the House of Lords European Union Committee on Brexit: UK-Irish relations, which has concluded that the implications of Brexit for Ireland, North and South, are ‘profound’.

The European Movement in Northern Ireland (EMNI) has welcomed the decision of Northern Ireland to Remain in the European Union, but expressed disappointment at the overall UK result.
In this opinion piece, EMNI member Dennis Kennedy offers his rebuttal at some of the claims presented by those advocating Leave ahead of the Referendum on 23rd June.
I am looking forward to 24 June, when I will no longer have to respond to alarmist rubbish such as that put forward by Alex Kane (6/6)!
Are you registered to vote in the Referendum on whether or not the UK (including Northern Ireland) remains as a member of the European Union or leaves the EU?
The European Movement Northern Ireland has been actively involved in making the factual case for Northern Ireland staying in the EU in the forthcoming Referendum on UK membership on 23rd June.
The Northern Ireland Affairs Committee publishes its report into Northern Ireland and the referendum on the United Kingdom’s membership of the European Union. The report identifies the potential impact of a Brexit in key areas such as the economy, agriculture and the border with the Republic.

On #BrexitDay it's also important to thank our friends and colleagues in QUB, who have provided support to our events. The clarification and explanations on the #EU and also the #Brexit process provided by @QUBPolicy experts were much appreciated. @DPhinnemore @hayward_katy
While there is nothing to celebrate today itself, we would like to thank all our members who have campaigned for the pro-European cause. We are still here and look forward to working with @emireland and others. #BrexitDay
‘’But for the EU and Ireland, Brexit is inescapably a terrible loss. The EU will be weaker without one of Europe’s traditional powers. And Ireland has lost a valuable ally at the EU table.
We may be growing apart but our friendship can- must -endure.’’

We would like to thank the staff of the EC Office in Belfast, @EUOfficeNI , for all their support over the years. Today is a sad day for the staff there in the Dublin Rd and NI has greatly benefited from the work they have done in representing us to @EU_Commission. #BrexitDay
Today is a sad day for all those who believe in European cooperation and reconciliation. We leave an organisation that has brought relative peace and relative prosperity to our continent, and enter uncertain times. #BrexitDay
