Montenegro’s EU bid moved a step closer to the finish line today as EU officials began working on the accession treaty that would bring the Western Balkan country into the bloc. https://t.co/2ipj56X7FW

I condemn the seizure of vessels participating in the Global Sumud Flotilla in international waters off the coast of Greece.

[Marta Kos @MartaKosEU]

Montenegro’s place inside the EU is now taking shape.

Today, Member States decided to start drafting Montenegro’s EU Accession Treaty.

This is a major step on the path to EU membership, a clear recognition of Montenegro’s progress, and an encouragement to accelerate reforms.

It also offers a chance to draw lessons from past enlargements and include new and stronger safeguards in future accession treaties to prevent backsliding on the rule of law and fundamental values.

Today is the feast of Saint Patrick, the day we celebrate Ireland’s culture, history and diaspora. ☘️

Ar scáth a chéile a mhaireann na daoine – we rely on each other.

Lá Fhéile Pádraig sona daoibh go léir! 🇮🇪

The attack on a UNIFIL base in Lebanon today is completely unacceptable.

I want to commend the Irish peacekeepers who assisted their Ghanaian counterparts.

All Irish personnel deployed in the region are well and accounted for.

At the Bom Sucesso College, founded by Dominican Sisters, the Embassy did the Portuguese launch of the book "Gaeilge Guide" by Mollie Guidera.
What a great turnout and an amazing environment and what a wonderful way to celebrate Irish culture and Irish language!

Today, Tánaiste @SimonHarrisTD participated in a UN LGBTI Core Group event on LGBTI youth & the future. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

He highlighted the vital contribution of LGBTI youth to their communities and countries.

🇮🇪 is committed to preventing discrimination against all LGBTI persons of all ages.

@TiernanFitzLark Would be transformative for Belfast city centre. Reminds me of a mini Cheonggyecheon in Seoul where they removed a whole highway and restored an old steam that had basically dried up

10 years ago this week, Ireland made history by becoming the first country in the world to vote in favour of marriage equality in a referendum 🇮🇪
Watch our video on a landmark day in Ireland, when love, respect and equal rights got a resounding ‘YES’

Sad to be wrapping up such a successful trip to Guinea-Bissau 🇬🇼- one of the most beautiful countries I’ve had the privilege of visiting. However, I’m leaving extremely heartened after witnessing the amazing 🇪🇺🤝🇬🇼 cooperation that is taking place. Long may it continue 💪

[jon @joncmcmahon]

Bom dia from Bissau for today’s Guinea Bissau-EU Partnership Dialogue which will be the first such meeting of this kind since 2015 🇪🇺🤝🇬🇼
