In 2019, the government published its Traveller Accommodation Expert Review. It produced 32 recommendations. As of June, only 6 were implemented.

Resolutions are very well, but little changes for six million Roma and Travellers facing discrimination, repression and exclusion.

It would be remiss to have a debate on religious freedoms without speaking about the discrimination suffered by Muslims in the EU.

We must defend the right of every person to practice their faith, whatever that may be.

Many citizens urged support of the ban on products associated with deforestation, and they were correct. As the third largest importer of these commodities, the EU has a responsibility not to be driving industrial scale deforestation across the planet.

Privacy International identified Ireland as a significant hub for the cyber-arms industry.

We should not treat spyware and hacking technology as just any old business and then act shocked when it is inevitably abused.

The Pegasus scandals are appalling. If we want to prevent more of them we must address the deeper problem: the cancer of surveillance capitalism, aided and abetted by the EU and its Member States, including #Ireland. https://privacyinternational.org/news-analysis/4602/taming-pegasus-way-forward-surveillance-tech-proliferation

Health is a fundamental right. It should be immune from the laws of the market.

When we talk about cross-border threats to health, remember it was neoliberal ideology that left our health services so drastically unable to cope when the COVID pandemic arrived.

We were supposed to be addressing rule of law problems in #Hungary AND #Poland.

Finally actions are proposed, but only for Hungary? Where is Poland? Why? Because Hungary didn't toe the line on Russia?

Blatantly geopolitical. Shameful for those in Poland waiting for EU action.

RT @ClareDalyMEP: As war in Ukraine escalates out of control, out come the vicious, scapegoating slurs against those who speak for peace: "cronies," "puppets," "stooges," "agents." Opposing the horror of war is not "anti-European," "anti-Ukrainian" or "pro-Russian." It's common sense.

Here is my written explanation of vote, which I submitted to the Parliament for publication a few hours ago.

Also here is my own and @wallacemick's amendment, which weirdly RTE doesn't mention.

Here we go again.

Reasons for vote against:

- calls for even more weapons into conflict zone
- pressure on neutral states
- more failed, self-defeating sanctions
- bellicose, escalatory language
- our amendments on avenues for peace voted down

The last thing the #HornofAfrica needs is more foreign military bases, more weapons and more European meddling. None of this benefits people there, facing climate and food insecurity - it's about EU ambitions as a superpower. God save #Africa from Europeans offering "help."

Vote tomorrow EU's energy crisis plan. Here is what I said last month. Fossil fuel consumption was always unsustainable. But this crisis has created a bonanza for energy companies, while families and homes are hit with unpayable price hikes. We need publicly owned energy now!

Month after month the people of #Afghanistan suffer and die, incl 53 mainly #Hazara girls last week, a people at risk of #genocide.. And yet the world says & does nothing. What have these people done to deserve this? Time to speak up, to stand up and demand #justice4afghanistan

Hungary is guilty of many rule of law violations. But using its vote on the Council, as provided in the treaties, cannot be one of them. That IS the law!

Attacking the lawful use of treaty powers erodes the rule of law, plays into Orbán's hands and is itself authoritarian.

60+ years since a criminal siege of Cuba began: democratic backsliding stateside, #ROEvWADE trashed. In Cuba a historic democratic process enshrines same sex marriage & reproductive rights in the constitution. History will vindicate the Cuban revolution.

Over 66% of voters approved an amendment to the constitution that legally re…
