Kathleen Funchion is chairing a meeting of the British Irish Parliamentary Assembly

Kathleen Funchion says there’s no need for any hysteria surrounding Brexit.

The local Dáil Deputy is chairing a meeting of the British Irish Parliamentary Assembly which takes place today and tomorrow.

Britain’s decision to exit the EU is expected to dominate talks at the conference.

Since the result of the referendum there’s been a surge in British residents looking for Irish passports.

Deputy Funchion told KCLR News that there’s no cause for this kind of panic at the moment.
