[EU Commission in Ireland @eurireland]

We're delighted to bring, in co-operation with @irishcongress, a delegation of senior trade union officials to @EU_Commission to meet with Commissioners, MEPs and EU officials. Interesting and lively discussions 👇

[Irish Congress of Trade Unions (ICTU) @irishcongress]

Incredibly generous of Commissioner Nicolas Schmit @NicolasSchmitEU for Jobs and Social Rights to give us an hour out of his busy day to discuss implementation of the adequate minimum wage directive, fair wage policy and other decent work priorities.

[Mairead McGuinness @McGuinnessEU]

Digitalisation in finance and in other sectors, challenges for the EU in the years ahead, and the importance of social dialogue: great to discuss these issues today with senior representatives from Irish trade unions visiting Brussels.

@TheNumbersGael @monaghangaa @clontibretclg @PearseBrothers @RyanWylie3 Although I don’t think @clontibretclg can claim Rory Beggan. @ScotstownGAA would dispute. But great stats!

[TheNumbersGael @TheNumbersGael]

Here's the @monaghangaa top 15 appearances table for 2020 to 2023. The county used just 57 players in the course of 49 games. For context, Dublin used 56 players in 2023 alone. @clontibretclg's Rory Beggan and @PearseBrothers's @RyanWylie3 joint topped the table. ⬜️🟦

[INTO (Irish National Teachers' Organisation) @INTOnews]
