@FionnanKe @Independent_ie @fiannafailparty @RenewEurope @Renew_Press @ALDEParty @timmydooley @DonnellyStephen There are already set prices agreed for different Member States. It would be more looking at bulk buying - similar to how we bought Covid vaccines. It would also look at ensuring equal access to testing for all citizens, emergency responses etc.

Yes Churchill was a passionate supporter of European cooperation and integration. In 1946 he called for a United States of Europe proposed the European Convention on Human Rights and ECHR.

His legacy on European integration has been completely destroyed by Brexit and Tory right
RT @NileGardiner: Sir Winston Churchill died on this day in 1965.

The world lost a champion of liberty, and the fearless enemy of evil and tyranny. An immense hero of tremendous courage,…

I don’t know Paschal Donohue well, I spoke to him as a Dáil colleague, like I spoke to many TDs

Russia is a terrorist state. We must radically increase sanctions on Putin. Visas for all 6700 on #Navalny's list of war enablers must be curtailed.

The reserves of the Russian Central Bank should be seized and used to support the reconstruction of #Ukraine 🇺🇦
