We also wanted to support local businesses in Cork. That's why all our spot prizes and food for the evening were purchased from specialty shops and European restaurants around the city! 🥗 #Eurovision

The answer is simple:
Since 1957 #Eurovision has brought people together to celebrate music. We wanted to bring our community into our space to strike a pose and strike up a conversation over the sounds of Europe 🇪🇺

So you might be wondering:
"Why is MEP Grace O'Sullivan holding a #Eurovision Party in her Cork office?"

RT @greenparty_ie: Lawmakers have acknowledged the damage that has been caused to nature. But what specifically do we need to do to restore nature and reverse biodiversity loss?
@GraceOSllvn & @caroline1conroy will address this question at a public meeting on Thursday the 18th in the Mansion House https://t.co/YmNWJxnGrl

RT @GraceOSllvn: Next week, my Cork office will host a remembrance event for murdered journalist Shireen Abu Akleh.
We'll be screening the documentary made by @AJEnglish about her death, and welcome speakers from Ireland and Palestine about her legacy and the ongoing political situation. https://t.co/cToe6VccgP

One year ago, Shireen Abu Akleh was murdered by the Israeli military.
The international community has failed to hold Israel to account.
We will not stop until we have justice.

@gloverstweets Israel operates a strict siege of Gaza which includes complete control over who enters and leaves. The army informed us that political figures are not welcome to enter Gaza. They do not want the world to see the open-air prison they have created.

My heart goes out to Gaza. As an MEP I was banned from travelling there....
This violence does not end as the EU supports a regime which promotes structural injustice.
End the siege of 2.2 million people.
Ban EU trade with settlements.

Our event will take place in the Mansion House, Dublin, kindly facilitated by @LordMayorDublin. We'll also be joined by experts Fintan Kelly of the Environmental Pillar and Dr. Victor Hrymak from Farm Carbon from 7pm next Thursday 18th May.

so it's super important that we dispel any myths and engage in good faith debate and conversations on this topic
This can be a very powerful tool for Ireland's biodiv. and ecological health, something that was highlighted at the recent Citizens Assembly on Biodiversity Loss 🌿
