The Irish Churches and the EU Referendum: A Discussion Paper

This paper has been drafted by the European Affairs Committee of the Irish Council of Churches to provide members of the churches of Ireland with a range of arguments to stimulate discussion ahead of the upcoming referendum on UK membership of the EU. The committee believes that the arguments point to the desirability of the UK staying within the EU, but appreciates that many Christians hold a different view, and is keen that these issues should be comprehensively explored in the coming weeks, ahead of the vote in June.
