Thanks to all who want to keep hearing our story. So much of Ireland on the International stage this week and our little group of 40 survivors and a 65 year campaign is still getting covered.
Because so many think it's justified.

Happy International Interns Day! 👩🏻💻
Traineeships help young people take their first steps towards a quality job.
That is why we have proposed measures to improve traineeships across the EU, including fair pay and better working conditions.

Welcome Tanaistes intervention into this last week but particular credit goes to Alan Kelly TD & media. The seriousness of the concerns raised by whistleblowers and the lengths they have gone to demand transparency & openness is a testament to their dedication to public service

Gardaí protect communities, every day, yet their representatives have no seat at direct talks on their own pay and conditions
I’ve secured a January hearing on this issue in the European Parliament for the GRA and AGSI. They deserve to be heard and to have a seat at the table

Polish and European flags fly at half-mast in front of the European Parliament buildings as a sign of European solidarity and out of respect for the victims of the shooting attack in Kraków on Saturday.

Today’s Fine Gael Ard-Fheis is a moment to discuss Ireland’s achievements and the future challenges.
Europe and our proud leadership of the EU were mentioned all throughout the day. Our MEPs @ReginaD @ninacarberry @SeanKellyMEP @MariaWalshEU proudly represented the EU 🇮🇪🇪🇺

Our hearts are with Kraków tonight.
We are deeply saddened by the tragic attack on the Main Market Square. Our deepest condolences go to the families and loved ones of the victims.
We wish the injured, including the police officers, a full recovery, and we thank the emergency services for their courage.
🇵🇱🇪🇺 We stand with Poland.

Congratulations to Senator Ray McAdam on his election to Seanad Éireann.

Bomb threats, disrupted flights and cyberattacks hitting food supplies should sharpen minds ahead of EU meetings in Ireland.
Hybrid warfare thrives on fear and disruption. We must get serious about defending our citizens.
Waiting to be hit again is not a strategy.

The EU is set to adopt its most stringent criminal laws ever to combat child sexual abuse, following an agreement secured by the EPP Group.
Today, the European Parliament’s Civil Liberties Committee will endorse a deal with Member States on a complete overhaul of the Child Sexual Abuse Directive. The measures aim to prevent child sexual abuse, tackle the misuse of emerging technology and ensure more perpetrators face justice for their heinous crimes.
“We can never be ambitious enough when it comes to protecting children,” said @jeroen_lenaers MEP, lead negotiator for the Parliament.

Congratulations to Fergal. He did the county a huge service especially during Covid times when he steered us through with a steady but inquiring hand.

1/AI is moving faster than politics. That needs to change. Ahead of @FineGael’s Ard Fheis, I’ve published a discussion paper on how Ireland can shape its AI future, rather than simply react to it.
