Ireland has a proud peacekeeping record and will always be a peaceful country 🇮🇪 But if the Triple Lock remains unchanged, Irish troops will continue to miss out on important overseas missions and valuable experience, while our European partners carry on that work. The deployment of our Defence Forces will remain fully consistent with international law and our Constitution, while ensuring Ireland can continue to contribute to peacekeeping, security and stability in the world.

Under Fianna Fáil in government: 📌Ireland was the first EU member state to recognise the right of Palestinians to self-determination and statehood. 📌 Ireland formally recognised Palestinian statehood in May 2024. We are a party defined by progress, not by protest.

I spoke on the Six One news on the Dáil speaking rights row. In sport, you accept the decision of the referee. In the courts, you accept the decision of the judge. It’s time for Sinn Féin and their subs to accept the rulings of the Ceann Comhairle and votes of the Dáil.

A ban on Russian gas into the EU was given the green-light by the General Affairs Council in Brussels yesterday, which I sit on. Proud to advocate Ireland’s support for this measure and to stand with Ukraine as Russia continues its weaponisation of energy. #REPowerEU 🇮🇪🇪🇺🇺🇦

Disappointment tonight for all of us 🇮🇪 in the Aviva against our nearest neighbour. I've committed to unprecedented government investment in sports facilities, including football at all levels, and I can't wait to make announcements in the coming period as the official assessment process concludes. #COYBIG #IREENG
