In light of successful launch of the Year of Citizens by the Taoiseach, Tánaiste and President Barroso in Dublin this month, and to follow on from the Citizens’ Dialogue event which took place with Vice-President of the European Commission, Ms Viviane Reding & Minister of State for European Affairs, Lucinda Creighton TD, EM Ireland are pleased to invite you to participate in a forthcoming lunchtime dialogue in Cork. This dialogue invites citizens from Cork and the surrounding areas to engage in open and frank discussions with high-level political and economic figures, as well as local business leaders and EU representatives.
