Maria Walsh MEP @MariaWalshEU@respublicae.eu

RT @EP_President: I am in politics to fight corruption.

To stand up for Europe.

We will meet this test head on.

There will be no impunity.
There will be no sweeping under the carpet.
There will be no business as usual.

@europarl_en stands against enemies of democracy wherever they come from.

RT @peterburkefg: We have a lot to do to make politics more accessible to women.

But maternity leave for Councillors is a start. My legislation to provide this was approved by the @DeptHousingIRL Committee today, and I'm hopeful it will pass and be in place by next week @women4election @NWCI

Pride here too. ⤵️ #RainbowFamilies
RT @vonderleyen: 🌈 Proud of the new rules we are presenting today on the recognition of parenthood in the EU.

We want to help all families and children in cross-border situations.

Because if you are parent in one country, you are parent in every country.

🇪🇺 We had our last visitor group in the @europarl_en yesterday.

These meetings allow MEPs to share our work but also keep a close connection with the constituency.

Groups included @BonniconlonICA & @BallinaLions.

Looking forward to hosting more groups in 2023.

RT @SeanKellyMEP: Having been invited to come over from Brussels, it was interesting that both @MariaWalshEU & I were sent to the public gallery & not the Dáil Chamber for the visit of @vonderleyen to the #Dáil on Thursday. I must say, though, there’s a great view from there!
