European Public Service Leadership explored at ACESA Event

European Public Service Leadership explored at ACESA Event

The similarities and differences between working in an EU wide agency and in an Irish environment, managing stakeholder engagement at an EU level as well navigating the challenges raised by global pressures were among the topics discussed at ACESA's February 2026 in-person briefing event ‘European Public Service Leadership’.

ACESA Vice Chairperson Tomás Ó Síocháin moderated a fascinating discussion between guest speakers Emer Cooke, Executive Director of the European Medicines Agency, Sharon McGuinness, Executive Director of the European Chemicals Agency and Susan Steele, Executive Director of the European Fisheries Control Agency.

Thank you to Emer, Sharon and Susan for sharing their expert insights at what was an inspiring and informative event.
