Govt decision to vote against Mercosur is the right one. As I’ve said from the outset, I'll also oppose it when MEPs vote. Reality is Ireland alone cannot block this deal - next 24 hours will be critical. Whatever the outcome, I will continue fighting for Irish farmers in Europe.
Comhghairdeas to Minister Hildegarde Naughton on her appointment as Minister for Education and Youth, and to Frank Feighan on his new role as Minister of State for Public Procurement, Digitalisation and eGovernment. Positive news for the West! 💪 💚
This week, 40 years ago, the Anglo-Irish Agreement was signed.
A landmark moment that laid the foundations of peace in Northern Ireland & a historic new era of British-Irish relations, one defined by a spirit of cooperation & respect across these islands on our path to peace.
Today we can elect a president who has given a lifetime of service to our country, who has delivered for rural Ireland and who will build bridges across this island, across Europe and around the world
For a president who will do us proud vote @HeatherH #1
Seán Lemass believed in an enterprising, industrious Ireland at the heart of Europe, and reconciliation between our two traditions.
Heather will channel that philosophy in the Áras and be a President that won't let us down. On this occasion, FF voters should lend their vote.
