This is the second briefing hosted by the Forum on the subject of political advisors, which is designed to demystify the role of special advisors and the contribution they make to the Northern Ireland administration. The discussion panel consisting of special advisors from the DUP, Sinn Fein, UUP and SDLP, will be chaired by Ray Hayden, a former special advisor to Sir Reg Empey MLA.
A finger buffet lunch will be served at the conclusion of the briefing and an opportunity for networking.
