Food price inflation is a challenge across #EU and is putting real pressure on family and people on lower incomes.

There’s no #Brexit bonus in these figures, and UK is free to trade with the world and keep food prices low as promised by Brexiteers.

Great collaboration between countries that are strategically important to developing wind energy.

Ireland can lead in production,construction and services of wind energy.

There’s plenty of wind so far, now let’s start investing in our ports, grid, planning and personnel.

It’s hard to believe we’ve politicians who consistently undermine Ireland’s reputation at home and abroad.

They denigrate our country and oppose our policies in attracting investment here.

Yet they have very strong opinions on how this revenue is spent https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-65343497

Below is something I said last year about Ireland’s foreign policy, and it created some discussion

I welcome further debate on this issue.

Leaving Russia, UK, US, France and China decide our foreign policy is an insult to the sovereignty of our People, Government and Dái
RT @BillyKelleherEU: The Triple Lock is out of date. Time to scrap it.

No other country should have a veto on Irish foreign policy.

Nigel Farage blamed membership of EU for Britian’s decline, now according to him it’s the fault of the “utterly useless”
civil servants.
It’s a funny old world
RT @nigel_farage: I have no doubt that Raab was absolutely right to call the civil servant 'utterly useless'.

This woke, weak culture that sees him resign over such a thing explains why our country is in decline.

Ireland has been identified as a weak link in critical infrastructure security.

Russian opposition figure Vladimir Kara-Murza jailed for 25 years.

A fundamental violation of freedom of speech and human rights.

Will there be an outcry from those that politely criticise Russia’s war in Ukraine?

Or will they ignore this injustice?

Another important step by EU’s third largest economy, in weaning itself off Russian gas
