Ireland has been involved in UN peacekeeping since the 1960s.

We simply want to continue our internationally recognised peacekeeping work without depending on the agreement of countries like Russia.

Il y a 50 ans, à travers l’été de 1976, on a fêté dans la famille Theron (dont Roland, Directeur des Services Fonciers de Paris et son épouse, Mado) le bicentainaire de leur résidence familiale à Claunhac, Salles-Courbatiès dans l’Aveyron (12). Aujourd’hui on a pu rendre hommage.

@DavQuinn It will not go to a referendum-Irish constitution does not require it. And for your information EU has long had Association Agreements.

The vast majority of Irish people are satisfied with their lives. 93% of us say we are very or fairly satisfied with our quality of life. Among EU nations, only the Danes and Slovenians are more satisfied. We recognise we are very fortunate to live where we do. 🇮🇪

Ireland is one of the most peaceful nations on the planet. 🇮🇪 The country is rated 5th most peaceful in the Global Peace Index's assessment of 163 countries. Iceland tops the table, then NZ, Switzerland & Slovenia. Yet, global peacefulness is deteriorating. We need to nurture it.
