Federal Trust's Martin: Stalemate in Northern Ireland
09 November 2022
In this video, the former head of the European Commission office in Belfast, Geoff Martin, discusses recent developments in Northern Ireland with our Chairman John Stevens.
Geoff Martin was the inaugural head of the European Commission Office
in Northern Ireland 1979 – 1984, and was later Head of the European
Commission Representation in the UK, 1993 – 2002.

Martin predicts that new elections for Stormont will make very little
difference to the political stalemate in Northern Ireland, for which he
principally blames the DUP. He argues however that the whole political
elite in Belfast is failing to reflect new thinking throughout the
island of Ireland.
