Ireland has welcomed more than 30,000 Ukrainian refugees since the outbreak of the war. They have been forced to leave their communities by an oppressive regime, and we need to protect them and remind them of the kindness and hope that still exists in the world.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine has caused the fastest and largest displacement of people in Europe since World War II. The scale of destruction and impacts of attacks on civilian infrastructure, hospitals, schools are utterly shocking.

Today, on #WorldRefugeeDay we celebrate the strength and courage of people who have been forced to flee their home country to escape conflict or persecution.

RT @EPPGroup: Increasingly digitalised workplaces and the ability to work anytime, anywhere, create both opportunities and risks for the well-being of workers.

A reality exposed by the pandemic to which a report by MEP @MariaWalshEU seeks to find solutions at EU level.

My initiative report Mental Health in the Digital World of Work was voted through overwhelmingly at today’s meeting of the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs. As Rapporteur I worked hard to move the needle in addressing mental health issues at EU level #MentalHealth

I note the UK’s new Turing scheme and the Welsh government’s Taith scheme. Could you give further details as to whether these schemes will provide similar opportunities to Erasmus for exchange for UK students and in particular Northern Irish students?

Brexit did not necessarily mean that the UK had to leave the Erasmus+ Programme; there are many Programme countries that are not in the EU. Regrettably, they chose to do so.

The Irish Government aims to support the continued access for Northern Irish students through to the academic year 2023/2024.
