In the aftermath of Britain’s 2016 decision to leave the EU, the Irish-American ethnic lobby remobilized to defend the Belfast/Good Friday Agreement from the threats posed by Brexit.Drawing on interviews in Washington, Belfast, Dublin and London, Cowell-Meyers and Gallaher explore how the lobby shaped US policy towards Brexit in order to prevent the reimposition of a hard border on the island of Ireland and preserve peace. The authors also consider the lobby’s approach to other contentious issues, including a united Ireland and Troubles-related investigations.

‘The authors have pieced together a fascinating account of the manner in which Irish America flexed political muscle in defence of the Good Friday Agreement. As someone who was personally involved, I gained new insight from hearing the views of the various contributors to Irish America’s highly-effective lobbying effort. A compelling and enjoyable read.’ Daniel Mulhall, Former Ambassador of Ireland to the US
