"The British-Irish Association's conference is an annual highlight for those involved with Northern Ireland. Ideas are freely exchanged, personal relationships nurtured, and divisions overcome. In short, the BIA provides an invaluable meeting place for all of us working to make Northern Ireland a better place."

Ambassador Mitchell Reiss, former Special Envoy to the US Government.



"I enjoyed and found very useful the opportunity to attend the British-Irish Association as leader of my party. The Annual Conference has regularly proved a useful meeting point and an occasion for trying to crystallise the agenda at the start of the political year in September, and includes a wide cross-section of people from many walks of life engaged in trying to bring peace to Northern Ireland and a lasting improvement in British-Irish relations."

Bertie Ahern TD, former Taoiseach.
