🚨Update on Nitrates Directive 🚨
Spoke about importance of the derogation for the 🇮🇪 Agri-Food Sector. Essential that the Commission when deciding on a possible extension understand its real world value.
Have contacted @TimmermansEU and @jwojc asking them to visit 🇮🇪 https://t.co/tu14SSwnkr

The 🇪🇺 must establish its own Search and Rescue service for the Mediterranean Sea.
We have a moral obligation to help people who are drowning.
The 2019 vote in the EP is a stain on us all, especially me for not being present for the vote.
We can and must do better. https://t.co/A6Noto1DKN

The #NatureRestorationLaw must not be rejected.
My group @RenewEurope tabled commonsense proposals that will protect biodiversity and will still be fair to farmers.
The European Parliament must pass an NRL today.
To do otherwise would be an abdication of responsibility. https://t.co/dBGKxIww52

The attempt to reject #NatureRestorationLaw has been defeated. 💪🏼
And the @RenewEurope substantive amendment on the Council’s General Approach has been easily passed. https://t.co/L4eJEyBJZl

Re @bilberryboreen @europarl_en @fiannafailparty @jhuitema @emmawiesner @bgroothuis @AsgeriEU @Andi_Glueck Hi there.That speech was from 2 months ago. You might note the “as drafted” part.
Since then, I’ve been involved in drafting changes and now I’m in a position to support it once the Council of Ministers’ General Approach forms the bedrock of the law.

Re @nollaigobuachal @SeanKellyMEP @deirdreclunemep @FitzgeraldFrncs @MariaWalshEU Hi Noel I’m not a member of FG or the EPP. I’ve been involved in ensuring changes to the NRL to align with the Council of Ministers’ General Approach which Ireland supports.
I’ll be voting for that in the hope we can pass a common sense NRL

Now let’s ensure reduction in wholesale sale electricity and gas prices is passed on to consumers.
The reduction can’t be allowed to be swallowed up by electricity providers.
Families and businesses across #EU suffered enormously under energy inflation.
Time to give back. https://n.respublicae.eu/eu_commission/status/1677603931445161985
<div class="rsshub-quote">
European Commission: Energy prices are an essential factor for our competitiveness.
Thanks to a collective European effort, wholesale prices are now 80% lower for electricity and 90% lower for gas than at their peak in August last year.

This beautiful game needs to be promoted. The more people who see it, the more who will want to play it.
Keeping hurling hidden behind pay per view #GAAGO does nothing to help grow and promote the game. https://n.respublicae.eu/ugandagaelic/status/1677342912831528960

My political group @RenewEurope will table the 🇮🇪 Government’s position at July’s plenary session.
It’s the best hope of adopting a realistic law that won’t impact on farmers &amp; their livelihoods but can restore our habitats. https://t.co/BOPUOFaVsS

4 people killed in Ukraine by Russian missile strike.
Meanwhile Russian oligarchs swan around the hotspots in Europe, sunbathing on their yachts and gambling in the casinos.
While Russia continues to kill civilians they should not be allowed into EU.
