GOOD NEWS! The new regulation on enhanced cyber security for the financial sector, which I helped to negotiate, passed the European Parliament with a huge majority. This new law will protect savers and investors from cyber attacks and ensure ireland remains a good place to invest

Europe is facing threats of cyber attacks. We must protect bank customers and investors in particular from the actions of hackers. This is why I have helped to negotiate a new regulation that will ensure strong cyber security systems across the entire EU financial services sector

This morning I had the honour to meet with Yulia 'Tayra' Payevska, a Ukrainian paramedic, who was captured by Russian soldiers on March 16th and put in prison.

Tayra, a frontline volunteer medic, was made famous by her rescue efforts during the Russian siege of Mariupol.
