“This is an historic occasion and one we are glad to be part of, with Brexit, the Northern Ireland elections and cross-border issues now vital to both countries this is a wonderful opportunity for leaders to meet and discuss,” said Elgin Loane, Publisher of The Irish Post.

“The relationship has never been more important than right now, in these uncertain times, and The Irish Post is delighted to play its part in advancing dialogue and mutual understanding.”

CHAMP is bringing a large delegation of MPs and Peers to meet with TDs and Senators in The Houses of The Oireachtas tomorrow, February 28.

James Winston, Director of CHAMP, said: “Relations between Britain and Ireland and relations on the island of Ireland are at a critical stage, with Brexit posing enormous challenges.

"It is vital that we create opportunities for dialogue and cooperation between Irish, British and Northern Irish political, business and community leaders and that's why CHAMP's first event in Dublin will bring people together to celebrate our successes and debate our challenges.”
