Brexit conference to be held in Cookstown

The SDLP's Patsy McGlone will host a conference in Cookstown on the implications of Brexit today.

It's set to take place at the Glenavon House Hotel, Cookstown.

It'll be an opportunity to hear about how the economy and citizenship will be affected.

The Mid-Ulster MLA says the event is aimed specifically at those who may have concerns over what happens next.

"Anybody that has an interest in it, but particularly those that said: 'we want to remain'," he said, should be minded to attend.

"And partiularly, those who have concerns - people who are looking for a little bit of direction," he added.

Patsy McGlone also expanded on what people can expect if they attend the conference.

"It'll be a broad session," he said.

"We'll talk through the issues to determine - and indeed, drill down into - or, as to what the actual reality of these issues are. And, to work our way through them to see maybe what we, as a political party, should be doing," he went on.

"This is a listening exercise and there'll also be key, very specialist speakers also," he added.

There will be a nominal entry fee of £5.

Refreshments will be provided.
