Just one month until Ireland assumes the Presidency of the Council of the EU on 1 July. 🇮🇪🇪🇺

Over the next six months, Ireland will help drive Europe’s agenda on competitiveness, investment, regulatory reform and growth, while strengthening cooperation across the Union.

1️⃣ month to go! On 1 July, Ireland will take on the EU Presidency!

We have put in the groundwork and we are ready to take the lead.

We are determined to deliver for the EU and for our people, because never forget, we are the EU.
