Event description: 

Frankie Quinn, from Dungannon, County Tyrone, is Project Coordinator for Éalú, a community program that focuses on trauma, healing, and mental health. He is also a founding member of the 1916 Societies, an umbrella group that brings Irish Republicans together to pursue the ideals specified in the 1916 Proclamation. Not least, Frankie is a writer and poet; his first book Open Gates was published in 2019.
This event is part of a series on Peacebuilding in the Wake of Brexit. This series focuses on the North of/Northern Ireland during a time of great political and economic shifts. Various perspectives from community leaders, mostly from border counties or towns, highlight how recent developments affect everyday people as well as political possibilities. Interwoven with these perspectives are discussions with institutional figures who speak to more macro-level effects of Brexit and other sources of uncertainty on peacebuilding in Ireland and the UK.
