Grace O'Sullivan MEP @GraceOSllvn@respublicae.eu

Heading to the European Parliament this one week with one primary mission mission: cut the mountains of plastic and disposable packaging forced on us by manufacturers and brands.
This week we vote on the Packaging and Packaging Waste regulation 🥡

This widespread use, the low price, and the open availability of glyphosate come at a cost. A cost we are only starting to come to terms with.

Climate change has a direct impact on our health and wellbeing ❤️
Always happy to join with Irish Doctors for the Environment - they are looking after us in more ways than one!

R to @GraceOSllvn: One last push! Let's call on @vonderleyen to withdraw the proposal. There is no support in EU countries to renew the approval of glyphosate.

More than disappointed to hear that the Commission will approve the use of glyphosate for another ten years
This despite European Food Safety Authority finding "high-long term risks", WHO finding it "probably carcinogenic" and independent reports showing impact on biodiversity

Horrendous flooding in Galway following years of failure to put in place climate change mitigation measures.
We must prepare for the worst weather events by planning with nature, not just concrete.
Nature restoration part of the solution.

The Nature Restoration Law deal reached last night is a landmark achievement for action on climate and biodiversity loss 🌿
Particularly happy that measures to restore peatlands made it into the final agreement. Bogs are Ireland's Amazon - time to restore them to former glory!

We have a deal on the Nature Restoration Law!
Together with new funding in Ireland for restoration and climate, we are slowly turning back the dial of our war on nature.
Great news. Chuffed.

António Guterres has been clear on what is needed in Gaza: an immediate ceasefire, the release of all hostages, and an end to the bloodshed. Now.
That the EU's leaders have failed to follow suit will be a stain on our collective humanity forever.

⏪️ 38 years to the day since I arrived back home in Ireland after being deported by the French Government from the Mururoa Atoll.
It's only steadfastness and perseverance against oppressive forces that can deliver peace and justice for all.

“At a time of a deepening waste and pollution crisis, this defence of big industry interests is unconscionable."
We are currently fighting in the Parliament to clamp down on the mountains of plastic and packaging on shelves. Not easy but very necessary.

Horrendous scenes unfolding in Gaza again tonight. A telecomms blackout means we will only find out far too late the damage and death that has occurred.
I fear world leaders have failed the children of Gaza by not enacting the humanitarian ceasefire that so many had pleaded for.

🇮🇪 Irish MEPs stand united in solidarity with besieged Gazans. Over 6,000 have been killed in Israeli airstrikes, including 2,000 children.
We need better leadership from the EU in calling for a ceasefire now ❌

Behind every death figure coming from Gaza, there's a life not yet lived, stolen before its prime.
Roshdi had been in contact with my office in recent weeks. He was a very talented photographer and storyteller - to his friends, family and colleagues, I'm so sorry for your loss.
