Over recent weeks I have taken time to reflect on the 2024 European Parliament Elections and have decided that I will not contest the Dublin constituency again.
I want to thank the people of Dublin who have trusted me to represent their voice at local, national & European level.

RT by @FitzgeraldFrncs: Today is an important day as we build stronger, safer communities.

New laws and tougher sentences are now in effect.

These will protect victims, punish perpetrators, protect our Gardaí and help tackle gangland criminals.

RT by @FitzgeraldFrncs: RCNI supports a consent-based definition of rape - kudos to MEP @FitzgeraldFrncs for raising concerns about certain EU states dragging their heels on this directive combating violence against women - it has to include rape

Good to meet with Irish journalists visiting Brussels today. Lots to discuss on the domestic and international front - war in the Middle East, violence against women, housing, transport, and supporting businesses. The EU has a big impact on Irish policy, it’s vital to discuss it
