The 45th plenary of the British Irish Parliamentary Assembly will take place in the Grosvenor Hilton Hotel, Glasgow, from Monday 22nd - Tuesday 23rd October 2012.

This is the first occasion that the Assembly has met in Glasgow, and the only the second time that a plenary has been held in Scotland following a meeting in Edinburgh (as the British Irish Interparliamentary Body) in 2005.

The theme of the plenary will be "The Scottish Economy and Irish/Scottish Relations."

A full agenda for the plenary including guest speakers will be available in due course.

Media outlets are welcome to attend or send a representative to the plenary. Those attending are requested to contact Ronan Farren, Q4 Public Relations for further information, accreditation and to make the necessary arrangements.
