In this episode of ‘Making Europe Make Sense’ , presenter Emma Farrell visits EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum, where Head Historian Catherine Healy brings to life the fascinating stories of Irish people who travelled east into Europe — uncovering some lesser-known chapters of Irish emigration along the way. We also hear from Allanah Murray, a Dublin native now living and working for the EU in Brussels, about her own experience of making a life abroad.

From forgotten history to modern-day journeys, discover a different side of the Irish story in Europe.

About the series 

What does the EU actually mean for us here in Ireland? As Ireland holds the Presidency of the Council of the EU, we cut through the jargon and explore the people, stories and everyday issues behind the European Union — making sense of how Europe connects with our lives, our work and our future.
