Cork Woman Appointed Next Vice-President Of The International European Movement
Noelle O'Connell from Blarney is currently head of the organisations Irish branch.
The lobby group is present in 34 countries and advocates in favour of European co-operation and integration.
Noelle O'Connell says having an Irish voice at the top table is crucial at this time as the transition period of Brexit draws to a close:
"It's crucially important that the Irish concerns, opinions and perspectives continue to be fed into all matters, European, and that is something I'm going to do because the support and solidarity that we have received during the Brexit process has been very much appreciated and valued and recognised."
