The ☀️ is shining down on Brussels today! Makes the Sunday commute to work that little bit easier :)
Exciting times ahead - we need energetic, experienced & pro-EU voices in @Europarl_EN
Our European story is far from complete - here's to writing the next chapter 🇮🇪 🇪🇺
Good exchange with @ninacarberry today.
We discussed EU-UK relations, protecting children online, brain health, and the future of the CAP.
I look forward to continuing our work together on issues that matter directly to people’s lives.
I was honoured to have a private audience with His Holiness @Pontifex Pope Leo XIV.
It was a privilege to hear first hand the insights which underpin the Holy Father's moral leadership.
I am also deeply grateful for the opportunity to convey to his Holiness my EESC priorities.
MEP Nina Carberry has been appointed to lead negotiations on the next CAP for the European People’s Party (EPP) on the budget committee.

Fáilte ar ais chuig an mBruiséil, dear @MichealMartinTD.
I’m truly looking forward to our collaboration.
Our discussion touched on some of the most pressing issues of our time.
From enhancing Europe’s competitiveness and strengthening the single market, to advancing trade and supporting Europe's strategic industries.
We also addressed the serious geopolitical challenges unfolding in Ukraine and the Middle East.
With your Council Presidency approaching at such a pivotal moment for Europe, your leadership will be crucial in shaping our European response to these challenges.
Cork camogie player Ashling Thompson has said Cork will wear shorts in Saturday's Munster senior camogie final and if they are asked to change to skorts they will refuse to do so, even if it risks the game being abandoned https://t.co/yuVOy2iuYJ
With every progress in its implementation, people and businesses in Northern Ireland benefit more from the Windsor Framework. A pleasure meeting @hilarybennmp, with @NickTorfaen, to discuss progress, outstanding issues, new global challenges. Thanks for the personal engagement.
Scoop: The UK has signaled to the EU that it's open to accept the dynamic alignment of rules on agrifood products + supervision of the ECJ over the SPS deal it wants to negotiate. Big shift in UK position.

I am very pleased that one of first missions of @EP_Trade in new term is to the UK. Even if the UK is not part of the EU anymore we will always have a special relationship&therefore I am happy that new government is looking for a reset of the EU-UK relations👍
The EU needs to boost funding for upskilling workers! 🇪🇺👷♀️
Ireland is leading the way, committing €1.5 billion through its National Training Fund. This investment focuses on apprenticeships and skills development, setting a strong example for others to follow.

This week in Strasbourg I was thrilled to be appointed as co-Chair of the European Alzheimer’s Alliance, a cross-party initiative dedicated to advocating for millions of European citizens affected by Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia.

“The passenger cap at Dublin airport is not only a barrier to the growth of our airline sector but may also infringe on our obligations under the EU-US Open Skies agreement”

Failing to lift the Dublin Airport passenger cap may violate the EU-US Open Skies agreement.
This week, I met officials from @EU_Commission & @DublinAirport and am calling for immediate action to be taken to protect Ireland's status as a global aviation hub.

In its current form the #Mercosur trade deal will have a devastating impact on Ireland’s beef sector, while ignoring environmental destruction in South America.
I’ll be raising this issue with @EP_Trade colleagues in Brussels today.
