2️⃣ 9️⃣th Sligo Agricultural Show
I joined Deputy @FrankFeighan & newly elected @sligococo Cathaoirleach Cllr Gerard Mullaney for the 29th Sligo Agricultural Show in Riverstown at the weekend. First time I've seen a dedicated 'As I Am' autism-friendly space. Brilliant inclusion. https://t.co/1JHEVJm9lt

🇪🇺 PASSED #NatureRestorationLaw
Now we move forward.
We need a dedicated fund for farming families separate to CAP.
Nothing moves, unless we all move.
This is a good day for our environment, biodiversity, waterways and future.

🎤 Earlier today, I spoke with journalist @anafota4 who is doing a piece with @euronews on the situation of artists and creatives in the EU.
I’m calling for stronger protections across the EU for artists and to facilitate their creativity.
