Attacks on democracy, such as that witnessed in Brasilia, must be loudly and roundly condemned. All my support to the democratically elected government of Brazil 🇧🇷. The will of the people must be allowed to prevail. Democracy is too important to take for granted.

Happy Women’s Christmas, Nollaig na mBan!

We also think of Orthodox Christians, particularly those from Ukraine, preparing to mark Christmas. The EU must redouble its efforts to support the people of Ukraine in 2023 defending their homeland in this terrible war. Slava Ukraini🇺🇦
RT @UkraineIreland: Incredibly touching editorial from @Independent_ie on the occasion of Orthodox Christmas. 🥹 Thank you so much and Happy Little Christmas!

My sincerest condolences to the family and friends of Private Seán Rooney. Ireland’s peacekeepers do our country proud all over the world but we should never forget the serious risks they face. We mourn his loss and also think of those who are injured.

All allegations of corruption, bribery, and money laundering must and will be thoroughly investigated. The EU must show a zero tolerance approach. That is the only way to show citizens that the EU is on their side. European democracy is not for sale.
