The MacGill Summer School is Ireland's leading international forum for thought leaders to discuss the critical issues facing the country, Europe, and our world.
This year, the School was organized in association with the University of Notre Dame. The 2024 program will take place in Glenties, Co Donegal, from July 18-20.
This year's theme: "On The Brink."
MacGill has consistently been a source of innovative and fresh thinking on a range of social, economic and political ideas. It brings together government ministers, members of the opposition parties, heads of business, academics, economists, sociologists, church leaders, members of the judiciary, and public representatives from Northern Ireland.
The School has been successfully positioned as a “broad church” open to all points of view with easy access by the general public. Audiences come from all over Ireland and abroad, and from a wide range of backgrounds.
This year's speakers include:
- Taoiseach Simon Harris, TD, Fine Gael, Leader
-
Minister Eamon Ryan, TD, Minister for the Environment, Climate, Communications & Transport, Green Party
