Dublin will feel the Bern in June. Bernie Sanders will make his first ever visit to Ireland for An Evening with Bernie Sanders on Sunday, June 4th. Don’t bother trying to get a ticket, though; the event sold out within minutes, and over two thousand people will get to see the outspoken senator in conversation with Irish economist and media personality David McWilliams (they’ll also receive a copy of Sanders’ new book, Our Revolution.)

The event is part of the 2017 Dalkey Book Festival, which officially begins a couple of weeks later. “It is an extraordinary privilege for the Dalkey Book Festival to host Bernie Sanders,” says Festival director Sian Smyth. “We are truly delighted to bring him to Ireland for the first time. He is an iconic political figure of our time, a stunning orator and with such turmoil in the US and globally we are very much looking forward to hearing his thoughts and insights.”
