I was surprised there were only perhaps 30 people in the large lecture hall, and I have seen no media coverage of the Seminar. It seemed to be very badly organised as I only got an email about it the day before the event. Media coverage on the day was dominated by a news conference by UKIP Party leader Nigel Farage and a Danish ultra-right Eurosceptic (both on the No side). Gavin Barrett has had op ed pieces in the Irish Times, as has Terrence McDonough. James Wickham has made occasional radio appearances though not, to my knowledge, on the Referendum issue, so I would not over-estimate the influence of this trio. They would not, exactly, be household names and perhaps only Barrett has the media skills to be a regular TV/Radio performer..
