Ireland is the most pro-EU nation in Europe. 93% of Irish people agree that the country has benefited from being a member of the European Union, while only 5% disagree. We recognise that this country couldn't have become the success it is today without EU membership. 🇮🇪🇪🇺

Le immagini del ministro israeliano Ben Gvir sono inaccettabili. È inammissibile che questi manifestanti, fra cui molti cittadini italiani, vengano sottoposti a questo trattamento lesivo della dignità della persona. Il Governo italiano sta immediatamente compiendo, ai più alti

The actions of the Israeli government towards illegally detained members of the Sumud Flotilla, including Irish and EU citizens is despicable and cannot be consequence free. This is a further clear breach of international law.

The average Irish worker is the 9th best paid in the world according to the International Labour Organization. And that's taking into account the cost of living in Ireland and elsewhere. Employees are paid US$5,400 a month here, on average. 🇮🇪💶

I condemn the launch of hundreds of bombs and drones on Ukraine last night. Russia’s actions stand in stark contrast to Ukraine’s offer to extend the three-day ceasefire. They underline in very clear terms who the aggressor is. Ireland stands with Ukraine and for peace.
