European Movement Ireland
- European Movement Ireland
The European Movement Ireland (EMI) is an independent voluntary membership organisation, which exists to promote the economic, political and social development of Europe and Ireland's place in Europe. The EMI is a civil society organisation which aims to show Irish citizens what kind of Europe we have, and to ask what Union we want to be involved with. Actively setting European issues on the public agenda, EMI works to make the necessary connections to all who live in Ireland about the role that Europe plays in our everyday life, the influence it has had in the past and that all of us are key in deciding what role it will play in the future.
EMI is affiliated to the International European Movement with sister organisations in all European Union countries and in most other European countries as well. EMI is also involved with a co-operative partnership with the European Youth Parliament, Ireland, an organisation promoting the discussion of European issues amongst Irish youth. The EMI is over 50 years old and hosts the annual Irish European of the Year Awards, the most recent winner of which is the Irish Taoiseach, Bertie Ahern TD for his Presidency of the European Council Jan-Jun 2004, including the successful negotiation of the European Constitution.
The EMI's current chairman is Shane Molloy, and its Executive Director is Andrea Pappin.
