🎄 Wishing You a Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year 🎄
As we approach the close of 2025, we'd like to extend our warmest Christmas greetings to @iiea members, partners, sponsors and all those who have engaged with us throughout the year.
This year has been marked by profound global challenges underscoring the complexity and fragility of the world we share. Engagement across all spectrum is central to shaping these conversations and ensuring our work reflects diverse perspectives. As the year ends, we simply want to say thank you for your continued support and wish you all a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year!

📢 IIEA researchers and contributors have published a series of new analyses tackling some of Ireland's pressing policy debates in recent days. Some of our latest publications explore:
🔷 Irish neutrality in a changed European Security context
🔷 The impact of the 2025 USAID freeze in Eastern Europe and the Western Balkans
🔷 Key challenges in EU digital policy and regulation
🔷 Devolution in the UK and lessons for Ireland
🔷 The current state of play of data centres in Ireland
Together, these pieces offer timely, evidence-based insights for policymakers, researchers, and anyone interested in how domestic and international policy is being reshaped.

🏦 Ahead of Ireland's Presidency of the European Council in July 2026, a fascinating personal reflection by Noel Fahey, Former Ambassador of Ireland to Germany, the US and the Holy See, on the very first European Council meeting held in Dublin in March 1975. Hosting the leaders of the then Nine Member States of the European Community (EC), it was the largest diplomatic event to take place in Dublin since Independence. An #iieapublication, part of the #FutureProofingEurope project, supported by @dfatirl.
