Leaving the European Parliament for the last time 🇪🇺

I want to thank Dubliners for giving me the opportunity to represent their voice in Europe for the last five years - it has been an honour and a pleasure.

Farewell for now - Frances.

My great friend and colleague, Heather Humphreys @HHumphreysFG would make a fantastic President. She’ll be a strong voice for integrity, vision, and unity in Ireland. If she steps forward, she’ll have my full support.

I’m truly honoured to have been mentioned as a potential presidential candidate, and I’m deeply grateful for the encouragement I’ve received. After careful reflection, I’ve decided not to contest. I remain deeply committed to public service and look forward to all that lies ahead

@FitzgeraldFrncs has had remarkable career in public life and politics in Ireland, including being a former Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Justice, and in Europe, where she most recently served as a Member of the European Parliament. The dialogue had participants share their insights and experiences in the political arena noting key similarities in both Kenya and Ireland in terms of the barriers women face.
