Ireland has moved a step closer to gaining one additional seat in the European Parliament in the next election.

[Paul Cunningham @RTENewsPaulC]

Ireland is a step closer to having an extra seat in the European Parliament. An EP Committee voted tonight in favour of giving 9 countries extra seats - including Ireland. The proposal will go to an EP plenary vote on Thursday. If passed, Ireland will have 14 seats.

Peace and reconciliation.

This is what the Good Friday Agreement 25 years ago was all about.

Values which we must still protect today. https://t.co/drwIA2nYVm

Maith sibh Éire 🇪🇺🇮🇪

5 minutes with young Irish students is enough to be convinced that Ireland's future is bright.

Europe is not far away. It is every young girl, every young boy from every town & every village.

I want young people to stand up for Europe.

Europe can be more.

[Micheál Martin @MichealMartinTD]

A pleasure to meet with you President @RobertaMetsola during your visit today.

An opportunity to reflect on Ireland’s 50 years of EU membership, and our ongoing and strong solidarity with Ukraine. 🇺🇦

[Roberta Metsola @EP_President]

The EU is not some far away entity.

That is why I am in Ireland today, because Dublin, Cork, Galway and other Irish cities and towns are the heart of Europe.

It was an honour to address both Houses of @OireachtasNews. Thank you for your warm welcome.

Ireland is Europe 🇪🇺🇮🇪

[Roberta Metsola @EP_President]

It's been a year since David Sassoli left us.

Since we lost one of us - a leader, a friend, a fighter for social justice.

His values of democracy, his belief in a fair world, his determination to protect the most vulnerable, still resonate with us today.

Grazie David.
