RT @Postvox: We are so proud to report that we have achieved a Zero Gender Pay Gap for the second year in a row. Tune in to hear more as Sonya Lennon gets under the bonnet of An Post’s operations to hear the experience of women and men across the business and to tell our story so far.

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.

The Commission’s proposal for a Regulation will improve and protect the rights of same-sex parents and their children by ensuring parents recognised in one EU country are recognised as parents in all EU countries.

Under the existing EU rules, member states are not obliged to recognise the parenthood of a child as established in another member state for purposes other than the EU rights from free movement, resulting in widespread discrimination of rainbow families.

This is a landmark day for all families in Europe. Thank you @vonderleyen and all colleagues who worked on this. Please do read the @EU_Commission proposal. #RainbowFamilies
RT @EU_Commission: All children should have the same rights irrespective of their type of family.

Today, we propose rules on the recognition of parenthood for families travelling or moving to another EU country.

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!

When I meet interest groups, I’ll note each, register it online & share takeaways on social.

I fully support the transparency measures put in place by @europarl_en. As elected reps it’s crucial we are open & transparent on all matters & public scrutiny is part of this. ⤵️
