Bertie Ahern: Does the UK Brexit secretary understand this stuff?

Mr Ahern and others addressed concerns around Brexit at a conference at Dublin City University.

President Michael D Higgins warned about political parties in Europe trying to divide people over race religion and nationality. The EU’s founding principles were threatened by “increasing inequalities in income, wealth, power and opportunities”, stressed Mr Higgins.
