Great to see the jailed Catalan independence leaders pardoned today. This must be followed by an end to all legal pursuits against those who organised the referendum. The Catalans have a right to self-determination & a criminalisation of that right is an affront to EU democracy.

The EU has turned a blind eye to the plight of the Palestinian people. Neither Von der Leyen or the EU Parliament have had the moral courage to stand up & call for a ceasefire. Surely that is the most basic of actions to begin a road towards peace.

More oppression of Catalan rights as Spain’s Court of Auditors impose sanctions of €5.4M on 34 former government officials & public servants of Catalan Gov involved, directly or indirectly, in its external action policies from 2011 to 2017. Despicable!

It was an honour to address a packed European Parliament yesterday as the EU marked the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement. The presidents of the EU Commission, EU Council & EU Parliament all took part in the event, along with MEPs from across Europe. #GFA25 #SFGFA25

I couldn't support the EP resolution as it downplayed the suffering of the people of Gaza and crucially - unlike the Dáil - failed to call for a ceasefire. A humanitarian pause is welcome but not sufficient

This is no victory for Ireland! Billions in lost taxes and further millions spent fighting the case and no doubt more spending in further appeals. Successive FF & FG governments have allowed the wealthiest company in world avoid paying billions in taxes. #AppleTax #Apple

@CowenBarry SF won't be taking lectures from the party that wrecked the economy & neither will the people. The electorate won't forget that FF decimated livelihoods & left a generation locked out of home ownership. FF-FG have had their chance. It's time for the change that people deserve.

😲‼️Fine Gael's EPP group & Von der Leyen's axis with the extreme hard right will pull Ireland & the EU to a very dangerous place. Collins would be turning in his grave. O'Duffy not so much. Is any FG candidate willing to stand up & reject VDL nomination?
