Great to host a delegation from @Entirl including CEO Leo Clancy to the @europarl_en this morning to speak to Irish MEPs about job creation, enterprise, and helping Irish SMEs take advantage of the Single Market. 27% of Irish exports go to the EU - with room for further growth!

Continuing to mark #GFA25 in @europarl_en as Irish MEPs are hosting a cross-party symposium to acknowledge the role of 🇪🇺 in achieving peace in Northern Ireland.

The EU has a central role to play in the future of our shared island.

Great to hear from Sen. @emer_currie1 also.

The EU played an important role in achieving the Good Friday Agreement - it removed borders and acted as a symbol for peace& reconciliation.

Now the Windsor Framework gives NI a unique opportunity to trade freely with the UK and have unfettered access to the EU Single Market.

A full house in the @europarl_en today as we mark 25 years of the Good Friday Agreement. The Agreement, with the support of the EU, ensured peace. We must keep building on the foundations to secure a better future for all. This include reconvening the Assembly as soon as possible

RT @EPPGroup: 25 years ago, the Good Friday Agreement was warmly welcomed across Europe. It was a time of great optimism and relief.

"Relief that the guns, the killing & the violence would be a thing of the past," says @ManfredWeber.

We will keep supporting peace and prosperity there.

The laws will also set up a new EU-wide Anti-Money Laundering Agency for the first time to oversee and coordinate the work of Member States.

This marks a game-changing moment in the battle against money laundering. I call on all Member States to implement it quickly.

The package of laws will also set up a new EU-wide Anti-Money Laundering Agency for the first time to oversee and coordinate the work of Member States in this area.

I support the governments intention to declare its interest in hosting the new EU ‘AMLA’ in Ireland 🇮🇪 🇪🇺

The new package of laws will close a plethora of loopholes which exist and benefit money launderers by making it harder to identify the real owners of high value items & land. This includes the ownership of high value assets and how these assets were purchased.

Today in @EP_Economics I voted in favour of proposed new EU laws to step up the fight against money laundering and terrorism financing in Europe, in particular by Russian oligarchs connected to the war in Ukraine.
