At Future Human 2020, RTÉ Europe editor Tony Connelly spoke with Dearbhail McDonald about the prospect of continued unity in Europe post-Brexit.
Tony Connelly has been reporting the big stories from Brussels for years – from the 2008 financial crisis to terrorism across the region, a refugee crisis that continues to this day and, of course, Brexit.
